Configuration

Most Tecplot Chorus configuration options are set and stored for individual projects, not for the whole application. This Appendix documents useful global settings for Tecplot Chorus. On Windows, these settings are stored in the registry under the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tecplot\Chorus. On Linux, they are stored in a text file under the user home directory, ~/.config/Tecplot/Chorus.conf.

ImageListViewStylesheet, ImageTableViewStylesheet

The default background color of image views is a light gray, but this may be modified via the ImageListViewStylesheet and ImageTableViewStylesheet configuration settings.

These values are Qt color specifications, which are essentially the same as CSS color specifications. Most commonly you will use a color name (lightgray is the default) or a 3- or 6-digit hexadecimal RGB color specification beginning with #. See doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/qcolor.html for details.

Windows

Use RegEdit to add or modify these String (REG_SZ) values under the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tecplot\Chorus or, from the Windows command line, issue the commands:

reg add HKCU\Software\Tecplot\Chorus\ /v ImageListViewStylesheet /t REG_SZ /f /d lightgray
reg add HKCU\Software\Tecplot\Chorus\ /v ImageTableViewStylesheet /t REG_SZ /f /d lightgray

Replace the lightgray at the end of each command line with the desired color specification.

Linux

Open Chorus.conf in your text editor and find the line beginning with ImageListViewStylesheet and/or ImageTableViewStylesheet and change the color specification following the = sign as desired.

If no such line(s) exist, add them just below the [General] line. If there is no [General] line in the file, add one as the first line of the file, then add the desired background color assignment(s) below that.
