Display Options

Options on the TrainPlayer Preferences Display tab:

• Colors: Tracks: color of track lines, shown when View Tracks has been selected.
   
• Colors: Switch highlights:  color of the highlight which appears when the cursor is positioned over a switch.
   
• Colors: Switch window: background color in the Switch Window.
   
• Switch Display: Open/closed lights:  by default, the program displays both red (closed) and green (open) indicators at all routes through every switch.  You may uncheck one or the other if you wish to light only the closed routes or only the open ones. 

You may also change the indicator colors from red and green to colors of your choice.

The diagram at right shows a few of the possible variations on switch display.

• Switch Display: Highlight size: size of the red/green indicator squares used to show closed/open routes at switches.  The value is in units called "rru," where 1 rru = 0.01" in HO; the default is 34, or about a third of an inch in HO.
   
• Switch Display: Distance to frog: distance between track intersection (frog) and highlight squares, in rru.
