Wincc flexible has that option, but I can't seem to find it in wincc V11.

I know how to set the colors and background colors for alarms but I want to change the color of the alarm I selected. Standard the selected alarm has a blue background, and I'm looking for a transparant one. Here is a post where somebody sets the background of a selected alarm to transparant, but thatis in wincc flexible.Link: /tf/WW/en/Posts/73923(Darius' second reply with Attachment: alarms_1.jpg (17 Downloads))

For example: I have a TP177B which is able to do so, and a KTP600 which is not. The KTP600 is a basic screen, maybe this settings isn't possible for basic screens? If anyone knows which screens have this option and which ones haven't, please feel free to let me know :) I have attached a screenshot the appearance settings of both screens. Kind regards Jens Attachment ALARM_APPEARANCE.jpg (573 Downloads)

Perhaps there is a workaround via scripting? (if selectedmessage=... then selectionbackground=red) or something like that? I find it also pretty annoying that you cannot change the alarm foreground color per alarmclass.

Scripting isn't a possibility either, since that's no option when you use a basic panel.

I want to make high level errors show a red background and low level errors yellow, but the focus turns the background to a different color. There are color options selectable on the KTP900 Basic, but not a transparent option. Attachment Sieppaa.PNG (441 Downloads)

So the last message will be always with wrong color... Not so "Comfort" panels.. really. These problems with alarm view exist many years. But nobody cares in Siemens. Sad
