How to setup my system color
How to setup my system color
(OP)
Hi all,
I am working on some setting for config.pro & have a general idea of setting system parameters. However, I can't figure out how to set my system color.
From what I know (may not be whole part of truth), color is controlled by config.win. However, I can't find out how to set the parameters in this file, or how to load the file. (Vs. I am fine with config.pro) So far, I can set my background color in config.pro setup... this is far from what I want to do...
I searched in my installed directory, but can't find the config.win file. Can anyone tell me where I should look for?
Regards,
engmechs

Both syscol.scl & config.win should be in the startup directory for ProE to load them.
To create/modify syscol.scl, use hydromech's information & you can choose File -> Save & save in your startup directory.
To create/modify config.win, use Tools -> Customize Screen.

I got it ! Wow! I searched for any clue on how to generate the syscol.scl file, & missed the save tab at the top!
It worked great! Thanks guys.

How do I get Pro e to load the syscol file, I don't see any options for this in the config.win file.

NB: The startup directory is the working directory that Pro/E uses when you first start it up.
RE: How to setup my system color
I put the syscol file in the start up directory, but it didn't load by itself, I did it manually to load it up! Believe me, I tried many, many times to put syscol, config.win, & config.pro in different spots of hard drive, & so far, config.* files loaded up automatically, but no syscol file.
Doesn't make any sense to me, but manage to get around it.

I searched for that file, but couldn't find it before on the list... then, I typed it in, & provide the pathway, then it worked! Thanks for the tips.
The parameters in my config.pro file probably is not utilized to its full limitation, right?!
