Note You cannot change this option if the debugger is open.
Display timer events
Choose this option if you want Timer Control timer events displayed in the Trace window when their interval value is reached. If you clear this option, the timer event still occurs, but is not displayed; it is treated as if you had specified Step Over for that event.

Font
Choose a font and style for the specified debugger window. For example, to set the font of the debugger’s Trace window, choose Trace under Specify Window, and then choose Font to select the font, size, and style.
Area
Select the text element for which you want to specify a color. For example, to specify a color for the text used for changed values, select Changed Value. The choices in the Area list depend on what window has been specified under Specify Window.
Foreground
Choose a color for the text of the selected area. To use the default color established in the Windows control panel, select Automatic.
Background
Choose a background color for the selected area. For example, to show comments in yellow text on a blue background, select yellow in Foreground and blue in Background. To use the default color established in the Windows control panel, select Automatic.
