Faceplate Header Colour...

We have multiple controller types on a project we are working on with a mixture of blue and grey Faceplates.

Currently all the Faceplates are grey in colour, but we want the blue Faceplates to stay blue and the grey faceplates to stay grey.

Is there a way to do this?

I thought that all Faceplate colours were taken from a 'Logical Color Definition' 'Process Graphics Colours > FaceplateBg'.

NOTE: By Faceplate Colour I mean the Header (Tag Name/Description/Tab colour) and Footer (faceplate buttons) area of the Faceplate, not the Faceplate Element.

TIA

Hello,

probably the Blue faceplates are using Process Graphics Colors. Try to change the logical color and you will see the change of color in the faceplate.

Which Aspect Category is the grey faceplate belonging to ?

Hi Ronny

When I change the 'Logical Color Definition' 'Process Graphics Colours > FaceplateBg' all the Faceplates change colour.

Not sure I understand your question: "Which Aspect Category is the grey faceplate belonging to ?"

In engineering workplace, the Faceplate aspect for your instance, or object type, belongs to an Aspect Category, which is displayed to the right with column header "Category name". Which categor name ?

Ohh, Ok, it's a 'Faceplate PG2'

For both the Blue and Grey faceplates ? If so I understand why the color is changed for all faceplates. If you had grey for some in the past, problably you did "Override" for them.

Yes - both are PG2 FP's

Do you know of a way to 'split' the colours?

Before, when you had Blue and Grey colors, did you have two different categories ?
Can you tell me you controller types, and/or which connectivity software you are using ?

Cannot remember if we had two different categories before - system was built/upgraded last year.

We have PCDeviceLib, REUSE Libraries and AC400 Safeguard.

(Will have to disappear to various meetings soon, sorry for late replies to any further questions...)

Maybe the change occured when upgrading from VB to PG2 ?

Yeah, sounds plausible. I think the standard REUSE FP colour is Grey. So it could also be that...
