The color functionality differs with emulation.
In general VT100, VT220 and ANSI Console work with applications which control the color directly. The
remaining personalities associate colors based on existing monochrome video attributes.
This section will define parameter selection based on personality selected.
Background will determine the color of the background screen under some conditions (16 colors).
Cursor Select the color of the cursor (16 colors).
Normal F.G. /
Normal B.G These fields allow you to select the character and background color (16 colors) for data
entered on the display before your application defines the color display remotely
Intensity F.G. /
Intensity B.G. These fields allow you to select the character and background color (16 colors) for data
entered on the display as Dim in ASCII emulation’s and Bold in VT\ANSI emulation’s before
your application defines the color display remotely.
Color Mode Is automatically selected based on your emulation selected.
