I see guys can really go nutz with this color stuff. Sometimes I'm happy that I'm color-blind !!!
Uniden SDS100 & SDS200 Color Schemes
- Thread starter N5XTC
- Start date
Facts lol.
I know blue and red
Not sure if anyone asked or posted about this, but is there a way to set a color scheme for each System or Department? Or is it only for the ones listed in the "Customize" menu (Set Simple Conventional, Set Simple Trunk, Set Detail Conventional, etc)?
This would be a great feature. Example: I would have police be blue, fire/EMS be red, utilities be yellow, etc.

You can set the light to do that but not the actual screen. Maybe that can be something done by Uniden in the future
That would be a great idea... probably can be done via a software/firmware update. If only Uniden read our suggestions.
I wonder how much time Paul spent playing with color schemes before settling on the factory default?

On my scanners, I have systems, departments, and channels set to bright yellow. Everything else is white. I find it far easier to read than the standard red and orange colors.
I looked at a lot of different color schemes here and got some ideas. This is what I ended up with (for now):
These multicolor displays always remind me of something from the early 80's for some reason. Like the classic Apple logo, or an old IBM. Maybe it's just me, but they have a cool retro-feel to them

Where do we find the display config file?
I would like to upload mine, so everyone can use mine.

I believe it’s in one of the subfolders of the main dir that Sentinel uses to store the radio config.

Look in the Sentinel top menu bar...
File ---> import and export display customizing settings.
To attach the .xml file to a post, either rename the file type to .txt or zip it.

Classic white on black.
That's a good idea.

Morning guys!
I have the SDS200 and playing around with the color scheme.
I would like to move the "System Name", and "Channel Name" but I don't think it is possible using the Sentinel software.
Also tried exporting the .xml and moving these two items around but nothing changes...
Is there any way to swap out these two field positions?
I would like the channel name at the top and system name on bottom.
Cheers!

You have to click the name title you want to change and at the top it should let you change it

I can change other fields however, these items don't have any options.
The user manual calls these fields "Primary 1, 2, 3" and while the "Sub Info" can be changed, the primary fields have no options when selected. Maybe its just on my end, I will try again...
Cheers!

When you click the field you want to change, the color menu pops up.
At the top of the color menu are the options that it can be changed to.
