The Display page appears in the Workspace Options property window.
In addition to the controls shown below, there are extra buttons which are common to all property windows.
This page allows you to change the properties (such as colors and fonts) of the display elements that appear in the ChordWizard workspace.
A preview of the selected element with its current properties is displayed at the bottom in the Preview area. As you make changes to the properties, the preview is updated.
At any time, you can press the Apply button to update the workspace in the background and view the actual effect of your changes.
Controls
Elements
The Elements list contains all of the display elements within the workspace. To view or change an element, you select it first, and the properties of the element appear in the Properties area on the right hand side.
Depending on whether a foreground or background element is selected, the controls in the Properties area may change.
Font
This drop-down list allows you to change the typeface of the font used for foreground text display elements. It is disabled for elements (such as lines) which are not text-based.
Bold
This allows you to make foreground text elements use a bold font. It is disabled for elements which are not text-based.
Italic
This allows you to make foreground 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 drop-down list, but any possible color can be selected using the Custom button located next to it.
3-D Effect
Some display elements can be drawn either flat, or raised/sunken with a 3-dimensional effect. For these elements, you can select the effect you prefer.
Graphic Image
Some background display elements, such as the Topic Background, can use a graphic image or a plain color.
When ticked, the Graphic Image option uses an image instead of a color, and the Image drop-down list is enabled. When unticked, a color is used, and the Color drop-down list is enabled.

This drop-down list allows you to select a graphic image for background display elements.
All available graphic images appear as items in the Image list.
