Display Colors

The Display Colors dialog controls SA's graphics window display and object colorization. It also controls text and highlight colors.

The graphical view background can be set to a solid color or a gradient. You can also adjust the highlight color used.

To Adjust SA's Background Color Settings:

Use the radio buttons to select Solid or Gradient.

If you choose Solid, only a single background color will be used. Click on the color indicator to change the background color used.

 

To Change the Background Color to a Gradient:

Text Color  The color used for text labels can be selected here.

Heads up Display The current setting for the Heads Up Display is accessible here as well as in the full Heads Up Display (HUD) window.

Highlight Color Options

Every surface in SA (in addition to other entities, such as planes) has a positive and a negative side. To account for a probe’s target offsets, it's important all comparisons be performed against the positive side of a surface. To determine the positive side, SA renders the negative side of surfaces in a special, user-definable color - a light gray by default.

You can choose a custom color to denote surface backsides if the gray is insufficient. It is best to choose an unusual color which is not one of the typical working colors.

You can disable surface backside highlighting so both the front and back side of surfaces appear in the same color.

Auto Set. This automatically picks colors that are distinct from the current background color setting.

Restore the Factory Default. This option can be used to restore SA's default color pallet.
