Color Filters

The messages shown in Messages view can be colored according to user preference. This feature is another way to filter or differentiate messages.

Message coloring can be based on an individual message setting or a network setting.

For example, with the network setting, you could color all J1850 messages blue and CAN messages red. See the Messages Editor and Networks topics for information on how to assign colors.

Quickly change color modes by using the color filter buttons located in the bottom toolbar of Messages view (Figure 1). The button on the left is the Message coloring, while the one on the right is for Network coloring.
