The Tasks pane includes the following commands:

  • Toggle Background Colors—By default, objects that you select for display in the Layer Settings dialog box are shown with the color scheme on the Color Settings pane. When objects are displayed with the color scheme on the Color Settings pane, Toggle Background Colors switches the display of Layer Settings objects to gray. When objects are displayed with a gray color scheme, Toggle Background Colors switches the display of Layer Settings objects to the scheme on the Color Settings pane. Use the gray color scheme to make reports more visible; use the Color Settings scheme to make layer objects more visible.
