You can change the color of a field's background or foreground using the Property Inspector.

Note: You can use the Property Inspector's Appearance filter to restrict the properties displayed to only relevant properties. For more information about using the Property Inspector's features, see Property Inspector (see Property Inspector).

To change the color of a field's background or foreground

1. Select the field.

2. Select the FgColor property in the Property Inspector.

The miniature version of the Frame Editor's color palette appears in the Property Inspector.

Note: All of the Property Inspector's pop-up frames, such as the color palette and the Data Type and Browse dialogs, are designed to close if you click anywhere but in the pop-up frame. If you accidentally close one, click the relevant property again in the Property Inspector and the pop-up frame will reappear.

3. Select a color from one of the following palettes: OpenROAD, System, or User.

Note: For a description of each of these palettes, see OpenROAD Color Palettes (see OpenROAD Color Palettes).

4. (Optional) Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the BgColor, LineColor, or OutlineColor property, if desired.
