Editing the Ini File with CalMod

We recommend using the CalMod utility to edit .ini files: it confirms that the settings are internally consistent during the validation process.

An extensive discussion of the elements of the [Shift Schedule] section appears in the documentation, which can be downloaded.

Click on the "Set Colors" button to display the color selection buttons. There is one button for setting the background and grid color, and a button for each platoon (the number of platoon buttons corresponds to the "Number of Platoons").

For each platoon, the user specifies two colors: the "platoon" color, and the "inverse" (contrasting) color.

The "inverse" color should be light (typically white) for dark colors like red or blue; it should be set to black (or another dark color) for light foreground colors like lime or yellow.

Valid colors are those which correspond to Windows(tm) named colors: (e.g. Red, Blue), or to Windows(tm) desktop properties (e.g. Background, Highlight, etc.).

The name of the selected foreground and background colors are displayed above the Background button in the format "Forground Color / Background Color".
