TinyTERM version 4 introduced much greater color and attribute flexibility for display. Not all users find the default settings to their liking, though. It’s easy to change the color pallette and other font attributes.

In TinyTERM, open the Session Properties and go to the Attributes tab. In the “Mappable attribute combinations” box are 16 different combinations: NORMAL, BOLD, REVERSE, etc. As you highlight each one by clicking on it, you can change both the foreground and background color, as well as the display attributes assigned to it. Use the “Display Attribute As” and color boxes on the right of the dialog.

Once you have configured each attribute the way you like, click the Save As button to give the new attribute scheme a name. It will be saved to the file attr.dat. If you would like to distribute the new scheme to other users, simply copy that file to their PCs in the C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM folder.
