<h1 style="text-align: center;">Colors & Fonts</h1>"System colors" are set by command line switches. The default is black on a white background.<br><br>From the Menu <span style="font-weight: bold;">Configure/Defaults</span> select the menu item <span style="font-weight: bold;">Colors and Fonts</span>
and then select one of the following tabs. The text widget used
for Rx, Tx and Event log displays has been improved to give better
performance with proportional fonts. Fixed width fonts still give
better performance and are not as demanding on the cpu. There are
several very good fixed width fonts that include a slashed zero which
are available for both Windows and Linux. If you are using a
proportional font and find that the Rx text display gets unresponsive
with large amounts of text then you should change to a fixed width
font. Do a search on the internet for "Andale Mono". It is
an excellent font for this use.<br>
