Terminal / Appearance / Advanced


The Terminal/Appearance/Advanced category of the Global Options dialog allows you to control the color scheme for your application window, and to control the transparency/opacity of the window.

Color schemes group

This group allows you to create color schemes used in your SecureCRT application window. By using the Edit... and New... buttons, you can modify existing schemes or create new ones.

Tip: Using different color schemes for different session [A session is a set of options that are assigned to a connection to a remote machine. These settings and options are saved under a session name and allow the user to have different preferences for different hosts.] windows makes quick identification easier. You can change color schemes for individual sessions in the Terminal/Appearance category of the Session Options dialog.

Window transparency group

This group allows you to control the transparency/opacity of your application window.

Active window

This option determines how transparent or opaque the SecureCRT window is when it is the active window on the desktop. The minimum allowed value for the active window is 15 so that the active window can never be completely transparent.

Inactive window

This option determines how transparent or opaque the SecureCRT window is when it is NOT the active window on the desktop.

Note: The SecureCRT window will become completely transparent (invisible) if this option is set to 0 (all the way to the left).

Title bar

Check this option if you want to change the title displayed in the application title bar. Enter the alternate title in the associated entry box. You can also use the following variables which will be expanded when SecureCRT writes to the title bar.

%H - hostname

%S - session name

%U - username

%I - IP address (session must be fully authenticated for the IP address to appear in the title bar)

%P - port

Note: It is possible for some remote systems to change the title bar text by sending an escape sequence. If you want these escape sequences to be ignored, set the Ignore window title change requests option found in the Terminal / Emulation / Advanced category.

You can also use the commands listed in the Send String & Function Commands topic.
