GDDM-PGF V2R1.3 OPS User's Guide

A panel in dark mode contains only three fields: the message line at the top, the graphics filling the screen, and the command line at the bottom. This is shown in Figure 11.

   Figure 11. Panel layout in dark mode
Note that you see no fixed information such as title, page number or arrow in the command field. However, you can display the arrow with the CMDFLD command.
If you want information, about a page number for instance, use the QUERY command. You can display the function of the PF keys permanently in the message field using the PFK command.
The color of messages is by default blue. OPS suppresses all messages except error messages.
The graphics field has the same size as in normal mode, the size of the entire panel less two lines. You can set the exact proportions of the field using the ASPECT command described in "Controlling the aspect ratio of the graphics field" in topic 2.3.5.
Use dark mode for presentations on video monitors or video projectors, and for user-controlled presentations of online information. In the first case, you leave the message field empty; in the second, you can show instructions to the user, for instance the function of the necessary PF keys in the message field. In both cases, you seldom need to enter commands.
