Look and feel

Ideally the GUI should adopt the look and feel of the environment. As this is not always possible, we can provide a configuration file to tailor the look and feel of the GUI to suit your needs. The configuration file is called custom.properties and should be placed in the bin subdirectory.

Use this configuration file to configure the following GUI elements:

  • The foreground color (the color of the text)
  • The background color
  • The font of the text
  • The style of the text (plain, bold, italic, or bold and italic)

A sample configuration file customSample.properties is provided, which contains comments showing how it can be changed. You are encouraged to copy this file to bin/custom.properties and to make any required changes.
