How to Enable/Disable the creation of CMP

The ‘EnableCMP’ parameter in the Color section of pcswin.ini, can be set to ‘Y’ or ‘N’ respectively to enable or disable the creation of Color Mapping files.

For Example: 

[Colors] 
 
EnableCMP=Y

When enabled, the Color mapping dialog will have four additional options in the ‘File' menu:

  1. Open -> Imports the color mapping changes from the selected color mapping file (.CMP) to the current session.
  2. Save -> Saves the changes made by the User to the currently imported or the associated color mapping file.
  3. Save as-> Copies the color mapping configuration set in the color mapping dialog to a new file.
  4. Exit -> Exits the color mapping dialog.

This feature enables users to apply the color mapping configuration to a session using a color mapping configuration file (CMP). You can import, modify and save the color mapping configuration in a CMP file, and can also customize the "Default" color mapping configuration for all the profiles using the default color mapping configuration file (‘DefaultColorConfig.CMP’).

The colors of the various parts of the host-session window can be customized; each component has its own default foreground and background colors, which are determined by the attributes (base or extended) sent to the screen by the host application to which the session is connected.

Use the Category tree control to change a category, or place your mouse pointer on the section of the Presentation Space screen you wish to change the color for and click the left mouse button. On the Color Mapping tab, this will set the correct Category/Element, as well as the current colors for that field in the color pulldowns and the Sample text.

The color modification pulldowns give 16 basic colors, each with a name and a color preview. Click the right-hand button to open up the standard Windows color palette, where you can further modify the colors.
