Display Pane
Another tab of the HCA properties dialog is for the Display pane. While this tab is described here,
refer to chapter on displays for a full explanation on how HCA works with displays.
Use the Display tab to set properties defining what you see in the display pane (right side) of HCA.
The display pane shows the displays you have added to your design, as well as messages.
Display Pane Info Tips
This section applies only to displays that show icons. When the mouse is placed over an icon and
doesn’t move for a few seconds, a popup message, called an info tip, displays. These info tips can
show lots of useful information about the object the mouse is over. The seven checkboxes give
you control over what is contained in the popup.
Icon double-click action
As the dialog text describes, if you double-click on an icon in the display pane it can either control
the object or display its properties. While you can set this property for each object, what you
select here is the default setting for any devices added.
Icon Theme
Icon themes are described in the Icon Themes chapter. What you select here is the default them to
be used in new displays. You can also force a selected them to be used for all existing displays.
Color and Theme
The Color and Theme is for selecting the default color and them to be used for each display,
folder, or room when it appears in the display pane.
You can select the color and theme for each display, floor, and room independently of each other.
This is the settings that are used when a new folder, room, or display is created.
