Changing the color of buttons on user input screens

Retailers can configure the color of the default or Cancel button used on screens that accept user input in the POS application. This task uses the following file.

File nameLocation
Control.Config.xml%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\NCR\AdvancedStore\POS\HtmlPsxClient\config

When the color value of the default or Cancel button elements have been modified in the UiManager.xml file, the POS application overrides the configuration applied in the Control.Config.xml file and uses the configuration from the UiManager.xml file. For more information, refer to Changing the color of all default and Cancel buttons.

To customize the color of the default and Cancel buttons on all user input screens, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that the POS application has not been started.
  2. Open the Control.Config.xml file.
  3. Locate the property lines related to color for the default and Cancel buttons in the FormEntry control section.

  4. Modify the hexadecimal value of the color properties to any color. Use the following table to understand how to configure the button properties.
