Selecting Point Colors

You can customise the colors used for each point (planet, asteroid, hypothetical planet) when they are drawn onto maps, or viewed in chart wheels or local horizon wheels.

To select colors for each of the chart points |
Select the “Point Colors...“ item from the “Chart“ menu.
This will display the “Select Planet Colors” dialog box, showing the current point colors for each point over a background of the current sea fill color.

See Making Color Selections for a description of how to use the “Color Selection” dialog. Once you have selected the color, the dialog box will be updated to show the newly selected color for this point. You can repeat this procedure for as many points as you wish.
When you have finished selecting colors, you then have the option of saving your selected colors for use in future sessions. If you do not save your selections, then any changes that you have made will only apply for the remainder of the current session with Solar Maps, and the color selection will revert to its original setting when you next start up Solar Maps.
