MOD 300 TCL Detail Unit Colors on Faceplate
Hi everyone,
We just ugrade SV4.0 to SV6.0.3 and MOD 300 TCL Detail Unit Facelate still shows Warning messages in yellow color. That was fine in SV4.0 but yellow color over gray in SV6.0.3 is totally unreadble.
Does anyone know how to change this color? Is it dependent on any system colors palette or is RGB embeded in the faceplate?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Please share a Pic, to see which palette could it be.
It is not available to do any change, these colors are fixed based on the MOD Engineering Displays.
I was contacting with MOD 300 product manager and as far as he knows this has not been reported as a known issue. Problem comes from Windows colors, Microsoft has lighten the background color making more difficult to read on some monitors. R&D are looking into it. Some other customers have played with the monitor brightness and contrast that can vary between vendors.
I tried with monitor settings but still is not readable.
I was experimenting with the registry color settings in Windows and found that in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Colors, "ButtonFace" is the color of MOD 300 Unit Detail background and many other faceplates as well, so using a darker gray for background, yellow alarms are in higher contrast and are more readable.
Definitively this is NOT the solution as it has to be implemented in EVERY machine and user, apart from that, modifying the Windows registry is risky and not recommended.
