Themes

Macula Monitor colour scheme can be modified by changing the colours of individual elements and/or element groups: buttons, date/time pickers, overlay controls etc. This functionality is available through Macula Monitor main menu Edit -> Theme.

All elements whose colour can be changed are grouped logically within the list and shortcuts to the groups are listed on the left hand side.

Colour palette consists of three sections:

• available colours: hues used in default Macula Monitor looks

• standard colours: pure hues with names (e.g., white, gray, purple etc.)

• advanced settings: fully customized colour choice from RGBA (red, green, blue and alpha for transparency) colour picker

All colours except from standard ones are coded in 8-digit hexadecimal RGBA notation; colours from the standard palette can be also referred to using names, for example, black, white, red etc.

As you change the colours, they are immediately applied to the application theme. Once you have created a desired colour arrangement, you have the following options:

• save as: save the theme settings into a XAML file

• save: save latest theme modifications and exit

• cancel: discard the latest changes and exit

• load defaults: discard all changes and reset the colours to GSF provided

• Export: save the theme into a file and use it on another workstation

• Import: load a theme file from another workstation, or an earlier version of it

To load a XAML file formed on another workstation, use the Import button.

Alternatively: take the Brushes.xaml file generated previously and put in into the AppData directory

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\GSF_Corporation_Pte_Ltd\Macula

After putting the file there, restart the Macula Monitor for the changes to take effect.

You can also put the file into the product installation directory - in that case the colour scheme will become default. To revert to the original Macula theme, delete the Brushes.xaml file from the installation directory and restart the Macula Monitor again.
