Color Setup

The Color Setup item from the Configure menu is where you can make changes to the screen colors. These changes will apply to the terminal screen and to CTCBridge itself. Your administrator might regulate whether you can make or save any changes on this window. If you notice that you can make the changes but cannot save them, ask your system administrator for assistance with making the changes permanent.
