Changing the main GUI fonts

You can change the font of the main graphical user interface (GUI). The default
settings might not display all characters correctly, depending on the language and
characters required. In pdaguixx.ini (where xx is the language designation) the
[Fonts] section contains the default settings for the character style that is displayed.
The following are default settings for most single-byte character set languages:

[Fonts]

LeftNavNorm = "Microsoft Sans Serif"

LeftNavBold = "Arial Bold"

MenuBar = "Microsoft Sans Serif"

Depending on your visual and character set requirements, the following fonts are
compatible and tested with the Rescue and Recovery environment
v

Courier

v

Times New Roman

v

Comic Sans MS

Other fonts might be compatible, but have not been tested.

Changing the environment background

The background of the right panel is a bitmap graphic and is named mainbk.bmp.
The file mainbk.bmp is located in the \PREBOOT\USRINTFC directory. If you
create your own bitmap image for the right-panel background, it must conform to
the following dimensions:
v

620 pixels wide

v

506 pixels high

You must place the file in the \PREBOOT\USRINTFC directory in order for
Rescue and Recovery to present the desired background.

Note:

To get, edit, and replace the mainbk.bmp file, see “Using RRUTIL.EXE” on

page 32.

Editing pdagui.ini

Changing the left-panel entries requires editing the pdaguixx.ini (where xx is the
language designation) file. For information about getting pdaguixx.ini from the
Rescue and Recovery environment and replacing the file, see “Using RRUTIL.EXE”
on page 32.

Rescue and Recovery has twenty-two entries in the left panel. Although functions
are different, each entry has the same basic elements. The following is an example
of a left-panel entry:

[LeftMenu] button00=2, "Introduction", Introduction.bmp, 1,

1, 0, %tvtdrive%\Preboot\Opera\ENum3.exe,
