Changing font colors

Post by colellac » Thu Jan 19, 2017 9:30 am

I am wanting to change the color for the default option in patient account. I know how to do this but my question is if I change the default color under my sign in account will the change affect the other accounts or only mine?

I'm not sure what color you are referring to, but if it's any color set by the Definitions setup window then the change will be reflected on all computers and accounts.

ok. I am referring to the colors in the account tab and then under patient account. You have different colors for payments, insurance, etc. and the color for the default is a hard one to read. Is there a way to change color for one account so that it does not affect the others?

Yes, double click on that color in Setup>Definitions and you'll have the option to change it to something that's easier for you to read.

Thank you Arna, I did learn how to do it. My concern is that I just want to change it for my account without affecting the other users. Everyone is used to that color but it drives me nuts especially when entering claims. So can I change the color for my user without affecting the others?

We've recently added "user preference" functionality to the program but haven't had time to really expand on it in the terms of letting users pick custom layouts and colors for Open Dental. So for now those color changes will affect the entire office. You should add a feature request specifically for custom colors for individual users (if it doesn't already exist).
