WorkSpace Color Settings

Concept

Next to the used strings and icons, the CHILI Editor WorkSpace also allows for the modification of the color scheme used in the interface.

Some pre-configured color schemes are provided as starting points (as part of the CHILI application itself, and not configurable in themselves). After selecting a closest match, administrators can select new color values for the range of supported color types.

Available Colors

some items in the interface can have an additional override of the specified WorkSpace colors. Tabs and Panels, for example, both have an "Override colors" option in their properties, which allow you to specify different colors in the interface, instead of using the single configuration.
