Custom Colors
Specify custom colors to use in your displays. Select Tools>Options>General>Custom Colors to add, remove or edit custom color definitions.

Custom colors are saved to an initialization file (COLORS.ini) when you click Save in the Application Options dialog. This initialization file must be deployed with your Enterprise RTView application.

A Custom Colors tab has been added to the Color Chooser in the Display Builder, so you can select a custom color in the same way you would select a standard color. You must click Apply or Save on this options tab in order to make your custom colors available in the Color Chooser.
 
 

Add	Click to add a Custom Color to the list. Choose from the following options:   Swatches Standard Java color palette   HSB Color selection by hue, saturation and brightness   RGB Color selection by red, green and blue intensity
	Color Index	Enterprise RTView stores custom colors according to Color Index numbers, not RGB values. Therefore if an object property is defined by a custom color and you change the Color Index number, the color setting for that object property will revert to white. NOTE: Fx graphs do store RGB values, see Limitations below. It is possible to set your own Color Index numbers, but the value must be greater than 5000.
	Color	Click on the button of a selected color to edit that color definition. Once you have clicked Apply or Save, mouse over any Color row to view RGB values for that color.
Delete	Click to delete the selected Color. NOTE: If an object property is defined by a custom color and you delete that color, the color setting for that object property will revert to white.

Limitations

Object limitations
Some objects (e.g.: the bar graph legend, pie wedges and legend, and some control object properties) cache their colors and therefore do not update when a custom color definition changes. To see the color change for these objects, you will either need to restart Enterprise RTView or reload the display.

Fx graphs store RGB values for all colors, this causes two problems:

•  If you assign a custom color to a Fx graph and then change the custom color definition, the Fx graph will not update since it stored the RGB value of the custom color instead of the Color Index number. The only way to update it is to manually pick a new color in the Display Builder.
•  If you apply a custom color to the Fx graph with the same RGB value as a standard color, when you close and re-open the standard color will be selected not the custom color. Because Fx graphs store RGB values, the corresponding color in the standard palette will be selected first.

Deployment limitations
Multiple applets running in the same VM will share a single Custom Color tab.
