You may want to select a color different than White for the WYSIWYG pane background, to be able to see the white text when editing text on the Articles main tab.

The default setting: disabled, no color

The recommended setting: enabled, Yellow.

To make white text visible in the WYSIWYG pane

1.On the Edit menu of the Articles main tab, or on the Edit menu of the Pages main tab while editing text, click Preferences.

2.On the Colors sub-tab of the WYSIWYG tab, tick Frame background during text editing.

3.Click the [...] button. Select the Yellow or the similar color. This will show the yellow background under WYSIWYG frames and make the white text visible, without making more difficult to read the black text.

4.Click OK to save the preference.

About saving preferences in database

When you click OK, the preferences are updated in the memory and applied right-on. GN4 will store the preference in the database when you exit application. Anyway, should your GN4 crash or exit in any other abnormal way, the preference will not be stored in database, and you will have to repeat the previously described steps.

This preference is stored in the Editorial_SystemUserConfig for the securityRef corresponding to the user name. To display that configuration, open EdAdmin4, click Client Applications, expand the search pane in the left sidebar, in the Name enter editorial, and in the securityRef select the name of the user. Double-click the Editorial_SystemUserConfig to open the content. Locate the preference by name.
