Use the
States
tab in the
Alarm and Event Log Viewer Properties
 dialog box to configure the runtime appearance of alarms and events displayed in the Alarm and Event Log Viewer.
Use this tab to create a visual meaning for different alarm state and alarm priorities to help the operator decide which events need the most immediate attention. When choosing colors, choose colors that provide good contrast, such as black text on a white background. Avoid low-contrast combinations such as blue text on a black background, or vice versa. Colors are not seen by all people equally. Do not rely on differences in color alone to establish meaning.
