   1. For the font that is used in your conversations.
   2. For the font that will appear when you print your conversations.

2. Select a Color Scheme by selecting one of the options in the drop-down box.
   • If you choose System Default Colors, your color scheme will be based on whatever color scheme you have set up in Windows.
   • If you choose the NXi Color Scheme, you will get a predefined scheme which includes a dark blue background in your conversation window, and text colors as in the setup.
   • See an example of the NXi Color Scheme.
   • You can choose a Custom Color Scheme.
     • Set a custom color for the background of your conversation window.
     • The different "panes" refer to the columns for each participant in the conversation. Usually there will be 2 columns--2 people in the conversation. But if you have a conference call going on, there could be multiple panes. You can assign a different color font for each pane if you wish.
       
     • Click on the Change button next to each pane for which you wish to designate a special color. A color picker will open where you can choose a standard color, or create your own custom color.
     • See a conversation with custom fonts/sizes/colors.
