<p class="p_Normal">These options allow you to customize visual aspects of the various types of file views.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Pick an element from the list to change its visual treatment.  You can change the <span class="f_Command">Text color</span> and <span class="f_Command">Background</span> color of each element on the list.  For some elements you can change the font <span class="f_Command">Style</span> to bold and/or italic.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Lower elements in the list override higher ones.  Pick <span class="f_Command">Default</span> to leave unchanged a color set by an element higher on the list.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Mark the <span class="f_Command">Use stripes</span> checkbox to tint the background on every other line of the comparison.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">The <span class="f_Command">Selection</span> element controls the treatment of selected text.  By default, Beyond Compare uses a medium blue color for selections so that difference coloring is not obscured.  If you prefer the operating system's standard treatment for selections, mark the <span class="f_Command">Use system</span> checkbox.  Selected text will then lose difference and syntax coloring, although the statusbar will still describe the current position's comparison and grammar type.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">The <span class="f_Command">Important difference</span> and <span class="f_Command">Unimportant difference</span> settings control the treatment of differences.  The <span class="f_Command">Background</span> color affects the entire line, allowing you to spot lines with differences even when the actual differences are scrolled off-screen.  The <span class="f_Command">Text background</span> color can be used to further highlight text that is different.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">The list also includes syntax highlighting elements.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Click one of the font buttons to change the overall font used to display text.  The <span class="f_Command">Editor Font</span> is used in Text Compare, Text Merge and Table Compare views.  The <span class="f_Command">Hex Font</span> is used in Hex Compare views, as well as the optional hex details display at the bottom of other views.  The <span class="f_Command">Listing Font</span> is used in all other views.</p>
