  6. Select your own color in one of the ways described below. Your changes will be displayed in the preview window on the right:

    1. Click the color bar and move the line to the relevant color range to select the basic color. Then click on the relevant position in the color box to select the brightness of the basic color.

    2. Enter the respective share of each color from 0 to 255 in the Red, Green and Blue boxes. 0 means that the corresponding color is absent. If you enter 0 in all three boxes you have selected the color black.

    3. Enter a hexadecimal color definition in the Color code: # box. The hexadecimal system uses the letters A to F in addition to the numerals of the decimal system, which means that it is based on the base 16. If you enter FFFF00, this sets the color to Yellow.

A color background is applied to the row or column containing objects. Only those cells in which connections are not allowed have no color background.
