Setting your display scheme

Your display scheme controls the colors and fonts that are shown in module windows. You can use the default display scheme for the database, which is set in the Database properties sheet, or a different display scheme.

Before you begin

To use a high contrast display scheme in Rational® DOORS®, set the accessibility options in the Windows Control Panel first.
  1. Open Accessibility Options in the Control Panel, and then select the Display tab. Select Settings.
  2. Select one of the High Contrast Black options from the High Contrast Appearance Scheme list. Click OK.
  3. Select Use High Contrast, and then click OK.

About this task

Rational DOORS has several standard display schemes that you can select from, or you can create a scheme that you can use again.

Procedure

  1. In the database explorer, click Tools > Options.
  2. Click the Display tab.
  3. Select a display scheme.
  4. Optional: To create a custom display, change the colors and fonts that are used for items, and then click Save as to save the scheme. Most of the items in the list are self-explanatory, however the following items require some clarification:
    • High indicator affects the color of change bars for unsaved changes.
    • Medium indicator affects the color of change bars for saved changes that have not been included in a baseline.

    • User 3 affects the color of the use in graphical view column indicator.
    • User 4 affects the color of the use as data tip column indicator.
    • User 1, User 2, and User 5 are not used by Rational DOORS.
