You can change the background color (and/or textured image) of AnyOrder's Main Invoice Screen by starting at the Main Invoice Screen selecting WINDOW >> CHANGE BACKGROUND COLOR AND IMAGE.

You can also reach the dialog box from Basic Set-up (FILE >> BASIC PROGRAM SET-UP & PREFERENCES).

The Color and Image Dialog Box which appears displays a portion of the Main Invoice Screen.  You can view the display as you make changes to the colors or background image.

To change the image, click on the "Change Image" button.  The Background Image dialog box will appear.  The screen's background image is altered by clicking on one of the image patches.  You'll be able to watch the background change in the Color Dialog Box which will be positioned immediately behind the current dialog box.

You are not limited to the colors and types of textured images that come with the program.  If desired, you can also download free background images off the Internet and use them.  Do a search for "Free Background Images."  You are looking for small JPEG (.jpg) images that are used on webpages and are meant to tile and repeat so that the entire image blends together.

Or, you can use your own image, much like you would use your own image for a screen saver.  If you do, use a JPEG (.jpg) image, and size the image so that it has dimensions close to 1015 x 660 pixels (11.8 x 7.7 inches).

Copy any images that you may be using to the C:\AnyOrder\Images directory.  Then type in the name of the image file in the space provided.  Don't forget to include the "jpg" extension.

To see what your image will look like, click on "Show Image."  Watch the sample in the Color Dialog Box change to your new image.

When you have the image you want, click on "Save Image Background."

When you use an image, the image takes the place of a color background.  If desired, you can control the color background of the status indicators.  (The status indicators are on the upper right hand corner of the Main Invoice and include OPEN, LOCKED, FILTER, etc.)  To alter the background color, start at the Color and Image Dialog Box and click on the "Change Color" button.  Select an appropriate color and watch it change on the sample display.

If you'd rather not use a textured image, you can remove it by clicking on the "No Image" button.  Once the image has been removed, you can change the screen's background color by clicking on the "Change Color" button.
