Datasheet Font & Color Properties

The Datasheet Font & Color Properties dialog is only available when style sheets are turned off for the page containing the Datasheet Element. When this is the case, the Datasheet Views dialog displays an option to Edit View Label Font & Color Properties, as shown below.

Use this dialog to set attributes for labels that display in the Datasheet.

Font - Displays the set of available font faces (fonts that the site administrator has set for your web site). Pick from the dropdown.
Size - Displays options in relative sizes such as "x-small", "small", "medium", "large", and so on. Pick from the dropdown and optionally add bold and or italic styling.

Color - Click on the color field or the color picker icon (they both do the same thing) to display the Color Palette dialog. The hexadecimal value for the selected color displays in the next field. Defaults to black.

The tabs within this dialog are:

The Safe Palette tab lets you select colors that all display monitors are able to show. At one time, the number of colors that the monitor could display was limited. Choosing from these values meant that the browser could accurately depict the color you select. (If a "non-safe" color were chosen, the browser would simulate the color.) Few modern monitors have these constraints.
The Named Colors tab presents colors that have names that are defined in World Wide Web standards. Knowing these names can often be helpful. For example, a site administrator might tell you to use a color named "Brown". Typically, a browser manufacturer adds additional names and many are compatible across browsers.
If you see a "Custom Colors" tab, the tab was created at your site. See your site administrator for more information.

Pick a color, or optionally enter a six-digit RGB (Red-Green-Blue) value in the Color field (you must type a hash # before the hex value).
