Changing the Purchase Order Screen's Background Color or Image

Top  Previous Topic  Next Topic

 

You can change the background color (and the textured image) of AnyPO's Main Purchase Order Screen by starting at the Main Purchase Order Screen and selecting WINDOW >> CHANGE BACKGROUND COLOR AND IMAGE.

You can also reach the Color Background Dialog from Basic Set-up (FILE >> BASIC PROGRAM SET-UP & PREFERENCES).

The Color Dialog Box appears and displays a portion of the Main Purchase Order Screen.  You can view the display as you make change to colors or background image.

To change the textured image, click on the "Change Image" button.  The Background Image dialog box will appear.  To change the background image, click on one of the image patches.  You'll be able to watch the background change on the Color Dialog Box which will be positioned immediately behind the current dialog box (shown below).

You are not limited to the colors and types of textured images.  You can also download free background images off the Internet and use them.  Do a search for "Free Background Images."  You are looking for small JPEG (.jpg) images that used on webpages and are meant to tile and repeat so that the entire image blends together.

Or, you can use your own image, much like you would use your own image for a screen saver.  If you use your own, use a JPEG (.jpg) image, and size the image so that it has dimensions close to 1015 x 660 pixels (11.8 x 7.7 inches).

Copy any images that you may be using to the C:\AnyPO\Images directory.  Then type in the name of the image in the space provided.  Don't forget to include the "jpg" extension.

To see what your image will look like, click on "Show Image."  Watch the sample in the Color Dialog Box change to your new image.

When you have the image you want, click on "Save Image Background."

When you use an image, the image largely takes the place of a color background.  However, the status indicators use a color background that you can control.  The status indicators are on the upper right hand corner of the Main Purchase Order and include OPEN, LOCKED, FILTER, etc.  You can control their background from the Color Dialog Box by clicking on the "Change Color" button.  Select an appropriate color and watch it change on the sample display.

If you'd rather not use a textured image, you can remove it by clicking on the "No Image" button.  If you need to change the screen's background, click on the "Change Color" button.
