Colors, fonts and key assignment

In all OpenTM2 versions, you can change the font color, background color and font styles of each segment (translated, untranslated and coded text parts) and proposals. These changes can be performed by the following windows:

• Translations window
• Translation Memory window
• Source of Proposal(s) window
• Original window
• Dictionary window

By default, the segments are presented in colors and fonts that can be easily differentiated by color-blind users. For example, most of the color-blind people have difficulties in differentiating between green and red colors. Therefore, these colors were not used as default values.

Set colors

You can modify the default settings by clicking Options => Color… from the menu bar (it is necessary to activate the translation view).
