Change block diagram background color

Solved!
Go to solution

I need help... I'm refactoring a set of .vi and for some reason I found them having a weird green background.

Besides aesthetics I have some functional problems... blocks border are nearly not-visible and also logic value wires.

 

I tried to change it trough Tools->Options->Environment but:

nothing changes.

 

BTW if I add a new sequence the background is correctly set to white/light gray....

 

Thnx in advance to anyone !

Best regards,

 Mike

Select color brush with shift right click and then right click to change background color.

I have a couple of times used it with good result, using a very discrete color to differentiate between a couple of loops, but it should be used very carefully and sparingly.

My eyes prefer green to white - but lighter than that.

Another possible use of BD coloring is when you compare two different versions of a vi. Obviously if you don't want to use the Compare tool.
