Step 5. Revise the Global Object/Faceplate Colors

About this task

The Proficy System Objects and faceplates have default colors. If the colors do not match your system's schema they can be changed globally in the RGB.dat file.

  • Rgb.dat location.
  • Default PPS global colors

Rgb.dat Location

Procedure

  1. Select C:\Program Files\Proficy\Proficy CIMPLICITY\data\

    Where

    C:\Program Fies\Proficy\Proficy CIMPLICITY is the default location.

  2. Open the rgb.dat file in a text editor, e.g. Notepad.
  3. Edit the RGB index so the colors conform to your system's specifications.
    Note: If you do a search for rgb.dat in the Proficy CIMPLICITY directory, a file will be found that is located in the ...\classes\pps folder. This is not the copy that CIMPLICITY uses. Save this copy as a backup, in case you need to revert to the default.
