Style Tab

The Style tab enables you to configure the font, font size, and font characteristics (e.g., bold, underlined, italics) of components that make up REDIPlus dialog boxes and monitors (field labels, field data, tabs, order bars, total bars, etc.). You can also assign the text and background color of displayed data (e.g., data in various panes, the quote bar, etc.) by its characteristic or status (e.g., Complete, Open, Rejected, Partial, Up tick, Down tick, At the money, etc.). Such differentiation makes it easier to quickly identify and interpret data. The dialog/monitor components and the style categorizations that can be configured correspond to the dialog box or monitor through which you access the Style tab; for monitors with multiple views, they correspond to each view.

Refer to the Properties Tabs table to determine which REDIPlus monitors have a Style tab as part of their Properties dialog box.

To assign styles to a dialog box or monitor

Right-click a REDIPlus dialog box or monitor, select Properties from the shortcut menu, and the Properties dialog box appears.

For monitors with multiple views, select the appropriate view before accessing the Properties dialog box.

Click the Style tab.

Select the component of the dialog box or monitor (field labels, field data, tabs, order bars, total bars, etc.) that you want to customize from the drop-down list box below the Font group box, and then select the characteristic or status you want to modify in the preview pane.

The Style tab does not always include a Components drop-down list box, as some dialog boxes and monitors do not require it.

Select the desired format of the text (e.g., Font, Size, Bold, Underlined) in the Font group box.
Change the color of the Text and/or the Background by clicking the corresponding button. A color dialog box appears, from which you can select a color or define a custom color. The color(s) you select are reflected in the preview pane.
Repeat the process to modify additional styles. When finished, click [OK].
