Style Settings

Use the Style configuration page to define style settings such hiding or showing gridlines, changing fonts and modifying the color palette.

 

To define style configuration settings

  1. On the Edit menu select Global Configuration.
  2. In the left pane, click Display and then Style.
  3. Use the right panel to set these parameters:

Style Settings

  • Use system title bar - if checked, the TWS menus will be moved down a level and the original system title bar will be displayed.
  • Large menu text - if checked, the menu titles on the titlebar will display larger.
  • Show grid lines in tables- check to display solid gridlines on your trading pages.
  • Color Text- check to display a text description of status colors on top of the colored field. For example, the status field turns red when you transmit an order. With this feature checked, the colored area will display the word "red" as well as displaying the color.
  • Auto Alignment - if checked, text will align left and numerical values will align right in all TWS fields.
  • Alternating row brightness - this setting provides a contrast level for better row by row readability on trading pages. A setting of "4" provides the brightest contrast between alternating rows, "0" provide the least contrast.

Font

  • Select Font Style - choose a new font.
  • Font Size - choose a new font size.
  • Mosaic Font Size - choose a font size that will be applied only to Mosaic windows.

If you "lock" the sizes, this will keep the ratio between Advanced Order Entry and Mosaic fonts intact. For example, if current sizes are 11 and 13 and you change "11" to "12," the font size for Mosaic will automatically change from "13" to "14" to keep the ratio intact.

  • Reset- click to reset font style and size to the default values.

Application Color Adjustment

  • Select a palette to apply a color scheme across the application. Please note that the new setting will not be applied until the next time you log in. A sample view of your selection is shown using the TWS image.
