Tinderbox v9 Icon

MapPrototypeColor

This pages describes features, codes or syntax whose use is now DEPRECATED, i.e. not advised either for new or continued pre-existing use.

Deprecated aspects of Tinderbox may be supported on a legacy basis but the latter support can not be presumed to be indefinite. Therefore you should update your active TBX documents to latest practice as soon as practical.

Deprecated: see $PrototypeHighlightColor

Not used in v6, retained for legacy compatibility.

Colour of the circle shown behind the Outline view note icons of prototype notes. Deprecated in favour of $PrototypeHighlightColor which is a clearer description of purpose.

The default is very light: if prototypes do not show a mark behind them try a darker value for this attribute. To avoid the mark showing, set the attribute the same as $MapBackgroundColor.

The default value of #cceecc is inherited from the Document Settings Outlines tab's Prototype highlight colour.
