Changing IDT display properties.

Use the Change Font option to change the font type and size and the Colour Scheme option to change the color scheme within single or multiple IDT sessions.

Before you begin

Users can change the font type and size within the IDT session, both for a single IDT session and across all open IDT sessions. Users can also change the color scheme of the IDT session to improve readability.

About this task

Follow these steps to set or change the IDT font type and size and the color scheme.

Procedure

  1. To change or set the font type and size:
    1. From the IDTTool bar, select Tools > Change Font.
    2. When the Change Font window is displayed, edit the font type and size as required, and then select Apply to All to apply the font changes across all open IDT sessions. Or, select Apply to Current to apply the font changes to the currently selected IDT session only.
  2. To change the color scheme:
    1. From the IDT Tool bar, select Tools > Colour Scheme. To apply the colour scheme changes to the currently open IDT session, select Apply to Current. To apply the colour scheme changes to all open IDT sessions, select Apply to All. The options for both Apply to Current and Apply to All are: Black on White, White on Black, and Green on Black.

      After you select an option, the color scheme of the current IDT session will be updated accordingly. Any changes to fonts and color schemes are saved to the database, and are retained for the next time the user logs in.

What to do next

Within the IDT session, you can copy and paste items to and from the command line by using the Copy and Paste UI icons or the Edit menu.
