COLORPAL

Using COLORPAL

  • Unless you set your own color combinations with COLORPAL, the default colors (or colors set by the network supervisor) are displayed.

  • Menu elements set with COLORPAL are saved to the IBM_RUN.OVL file. The following rules apply:

    • You must have the Write right to the IBM_RUN.OVL file.

    • The file must reside in the directory you run NetWare text utilities from (including the NMENU utility). By default, the IBM_RUN.OVL file is in SYS:PUBLIC.

    • The colors used by any NetWare text utility are determined by the copy of IBM_RUN.OVL found when the utility executes.

    • You can have multiple copies of IBM_RUN.OVL in multiple directories. Each copy of the overlay file can have different menu element settings, providing different menus with varying color combinations.
