In Falcon, how do I change the color scheme?

Note: A project is underway to replace Falcon with a service desk system from Numara Software called Footprints, scheduled to be in full production in early summer 2009. For more information, see the Service desk implementation project page.

In the Falcon Windows GUI client, you can change the colors of the interface appears. To change your color scheme, follow these steps:

1. From your desktop, right-click the Falcon icon, and then select Properties.
   
   
2. On the Shortcut tab, in the "Target:" field, at the end of the existing text, type: -colorscheme:preference

   Replace preference with the name of the color scheme you wish to use. Leave a space before the hyphen ( - ). The available color schemes are listed below:

   • browns
   • blues
   • desert (default)
   • dkblues
   • dkgreens
   • eggplant
   • greens
   • lilac
   • maple
   • marine
   • plum
   • purples

   Note: Do not remove any of the existing text from the "Target:" field.

3. Click OK.
