Electronic – Altium – Change Color of Error Text in HUD

altiumdrcerror

I had this set up on my PC a few weeks ago but lost it when I had to switch computers. I am trying to remember how to change the color of the Online DRC Errors shown in the HUD when hovering over the segments causing the error. I do not want to change the color of any of the other text. For example:

HUD

I want to change the text color of the "Clearance Constraint" entries (or any other DRC errors) to red so that it's easier to pick them out as errors. I know there's a way to color-code the HUD but I can't seem to remember how. I'm using Altium Designer 15.1.

For me it is under Preferences. You go to the PCB Editor folder and click on Board Insight Modes. There you can set the color/font/etc of the different text that pop up with the HUB. Mattias is correct in that it is violation details that you want to change. Here's a picture.

Glad I could help.
