Fonts and color settings

As much as possible, Rational Performance Tester uses the fonts and colors provided by the operating system. However, operating systems do not provide enough colors to handle all the extra information that colors and fonts provide in the workbench.

Fonts

Four main fonts that the Eclipse workbench uses...

Font	Description
Banner	Used in Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) editors, on welcome pages, and in the title area of many wizards. For example, the New Project wizard uses this font in the top title.
Header	Used as a section heading. For example, the welcome page for the Eclipse platform uses this font for the top title.
Text	Used in text editors.
Dialog	Used in dialog boxes.

To set these fonts, click Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts. Several other secondary font settings are also available on the Colors and Fonts preference page.

Colors

The Eclipse workbench uses colors as an information enhancement in many places. Whenever possible the workbench uses operating system color settings, but in cases where the operating system settings are not enough, the workbench defines other colors. You can adjust these colors through settings on the preference pages.
