Meter - Display

Various parts of the meter display can be customized. These settings are combined in an image scheme. Several default schemes can be selected from. It is also possible to define own schemes, which can be saved for later use.

Several meter scheme items can be adjusted. They can be divided into colors and on/off settings.

Adjustable colors

Colors may be changed by pressing a color selector button which opens a color selector dialog with several predefined colors and an option to define other colors. The following colors in a meter scheme can be adjusted:

Background

The background color is used for the background of the meter display.

Caption background

Caption background is the color that is used for the background of the source caption of the meter.

This property sets the default display color for all meter displays. This setting can be modified per display individually through the popup menu of each meter display.

Warning color

The warning color is the color for the warning symbols that are shown when the input signal is clipped at the input range.
