Mainframe Screen Display Modes

The mainframe screen can be displayed in one of three modes:

 To toggle between modes, click the Display Mode icon on the status bar:

The current mode is displayed to the right of the toggle icon:

 

Classic mode presents the mainframe screen in the traditional way.  The screen will appear exactly the same as it does in green screen mode:


Standard mode offers a prettier view of the data on the mainframe.  Screen headers are removed since they are already present in the status bars and title bars.  Navigation key text is removed since it is present in the context sensitive button bar.  The screen is displayed in mixed case instead of all upper case:


Enhanced mode can provide a completely new user experience.  Screens can be completely redesigned on a screen by screen basis:

In this mode if the user navigates to a screen which has not been enhanced then the screen will appear in Standard Mode (the default mode).
