Display

The Display page appears in the Workspace Options property sheet.

It allows you to update the properties of every display element that appears in the ChordWizard workspace.

These properties include colors, fonts, alignment, graphics, and 3D effects.

Controls

Elements

There are many elements that make up the display of the ChordWizard workspace, and they are all listed in alphabetical order in this list.

To view or change the properties of any element, you must first select it in the Elements list and they will then appear on the right hand side of the Display page.

A preview of the element appears in the Preview area - as you make changes to the properties, the preview will be updated.

Font

This dropdown list allows you to change the typeface of the font used for text display elements. It is disabled for elements (such as lines) which are not text-based.

Bold

This allows you to make text elements use a bold font. It is disabled for elements which are not text-based.

Italic

This allows you to make text elements use an italic font. It is disabled for elements which are not text-based.

Color

Most display elements have an adjustable color property.

Sixteen basic colors are available from the Color dropdown list, but any color can be selected using the Custom button next to it.

Custom

Opens the standard Color window, where you can select any color for the display element. The Color dropdown list can also be used to select one of the sixteen basic colors.

3-D Effect

Some display elements, such as Fretboard Finger Blocks, Fretboard Frets and Fretboard Strings, can be shown with extra shading to give a 3D effect.

This is recommended to make the display more attractive.

Graphic Image

Some background display elements, such as the Fretboard Background and Main Background, can use a graphic image or a plain color.

Ticking the Graphic Image option specifies that you want to use an image instead of a color. The Image dropdown list will be enabled.

Image

This dropdown list allows you to select a graphic image for certain background display elements.

All available graphic images appear as items in the Image list.

Preview

As you make changes to your settings, the Preview area automatically updates with a sample of the display element based on the current properties.

At any time, you can press the Apply button to update the workspace in the background and view the actual effect of your changes. Once you have done this, though, you will not be able to cancel them.

Reset

Resets properties to the system defaults for the selected display element in the Elements list.

Reset All

Resets properties to the system defaults for all display elements in the Elements list.
