3.1.1.13 Configure Color
WinVN allows the user to configure the foreground and background colors for each of its main windows. When the Configure Color option on the Configure Menu is selected, a user can select the color of Unsubscribed Groups, Subscribed Groups, Unseen Articles, Seen Articles, Article Text, Status Text, List Background, Article Background or Status Background. Once a color item is selected, a popup color editor window will appear.
The user can select colors from a standard palette of colors or define their own set of custom colors. Once defined, the Save Configuration Information option must be selected if the colors are to be loaded during all subsequent WinVN sessions. WinVN does not currently support dithered colors - if the user’s Windows video configuration is 16 or 256 colors, then some colors shown in the color popup will be dithered combination colors. If a dithered color is selected WinVN will choose the closest solid color.
True Inverse Seletions
If checked, selections in the main group-list window and the group article-list window will be true reverse video (i.e. a selected line will show the text in the window background color, and the selection bar background in the text color). If not checked, the text color for a selection will be preserved and the selection bar background color will always be black (or gray black would make the text unreadable).
