User Interface

The operator interface is defined as the areas which are not displaying the electronic chart, either raster chart or
vector chart.
The operator 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 your ship, time, operator selections, etc.).

Color palettes for the operator interface

There are several color palettes available for choosing colors for the chart background and information areas.
Setting Background color of

Night Black
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 your ship's position, time or direct control of parameters
(scale, predictor time, etc.) is shown in yellow color.
To choose a color palette, do the following:
1. Set the cursor in the electronic chart area.
2. Spin the scrollwheel until Chart Display/Info/Standard Display is shown in the mouse functions area.
3. Push the left mouse button to open the Chart Display dialog box.
4. If the "Chart page" is not selected, click an arrow tab in the dialog box to display it.
5. Place the cursor on Palette.
6. Spin the scrollwheel to choose desired palette, referring to the table above, then push the scrollwheel.
7. Click the X at the top right corner of the dialog box to close the box.
Note: The display colors may change to the Windows standard color palette whenever a USB memory device is
inserted or removed. (When Windows initiates USB recognition procedures, the Windows stardard color palette is
restored.) To restore the ECDIS color palette, open the Chart Display menu and do the procedure on this page.
