Configuring User-Defined Colors

Color the front panel background and objects with the user-defined colors in the color picker to maintain a consistent color scheme across the VIs in an application.

You can change the color associated with a user-defined color name, and you can define new colors to display in the color picker. However, if you change the color associated with a user-defined color name, LabVIEW does not apply that change to any objects on the Controls palette. For example, if you change the LED On color to a bright blue instead of the default bright green and you place an LED control on the front panel, the On color of the control is the default bright green.

Complete the following steps to change the user-defined colors that appear in the color picker or to define new colors to display in the color picker.

  1. Select Tools»Options to display the Options dialog box.
  2. Select Colors from the top pull-down menu.
  3. Click the User Colors button to display the User Colors dialog box.
  4. Configure the user-defined colors in any of the following ways:
  5. Click the OK button twice to save the changes.
