6.8.4.2 Decoration
The Decoration tab is identical for all viewers. Here you can select whether to hide or show the title bar and/or
status bar as well as the type and content of the information to be overlaid over the actual content of the viewer
window.
If the entire window content is covered by an image, for example, the term used is Blanking.
If information is displayed covering only certain positions of the actual window, the term used is In Display
Caption (IDC). You can define and activate up to 4 IDCs.
Click on Blanking (or Idc1, Idc2, Idc3, Idc4) to define the information to be depicted in the hide mode (infor-
mation to be depicted as IDC1, IDC2, IDC3, IDC4). The information selected in blanking mode can also be dis-
played in case the signal is lost (check the option Activate on SignalLoss)
Then select the IdcEnable option to overlay the selected information over the actual viewer window content
according to settings.
Information can consist of any text, system parameters such as date and time (cf. Placeholders for In Display Caption
Texts), and an image (logo). The available images are defined in the ServerData\Globals.ini file and identical for
all viewers. Colors and font sizes are defined in this file as well.
You can select text color, text background color, size, and position for In Display Caption. Click on the Opaque
option and the text is displayed on the selected color; otherwise, the background is transparent. In case the
Overlap checkbox is ticked, the IDC is displayed within the insertion. Remove the tick to have it displayed out-
side the insertion! Please note that Overlap has no effect in case the IDC is centered!
