mySCADA is a very flexible tool that allows you to modify the visual appearance of your project in a runtime environment freely. You are free to change the fonts, colors, and icons to fit your company’s visual guidelines.

 

For visual appearance set up, click on your project and then click on the color palette icon in the Main Toolbar.

In the dialog, you can see options for the visual appearance of your project in a runtime environment. If you change any color or visual option, you can immediately see how this option is displayed in the runtime environment.

 

Changing the Default Color

The simplest way to change the default visual appearance is to set a new default color. To do so, click on a corresponding color in the “Default Colors” section.
