User Interface

The user interface is defined as the areas which are not displaying the electronic chart, either raster chart or vector
chart.
The user interface contains information about settings, parameters and selections used by the ECDIS. The nature of
the information displayed can be either static (such as name of a certain window, fields in chart legend, units, etc.)
or dynamic (such as position of own ship, time, user selections, etc.).

Color palettes for the user interface

With any palette selection except Day Bright, static text from dynamic text is shown in different colors to help you
distinguish between them. For example, dynamic data like own ship position, time or direct control of parameters
(scale, predictor time, etc.) is shown in yellow color.
