6.6.1 Color Coding

Widget color-coding capability has been added to the framework's GUI   functionality, because it has become clear that the consistent use of colors for the indication of system states is very helpful in quickly assessing the state and operation of TCAD tools and framework components. For the run table display, white is used for waiting runs, red for active, and dark green for done runs. Aborted runs are shown in an aggressive orange tone. Additional states not displayed are stopped, indicated by a dark blue appearance, and empty (light green), the latter indicating a successful completion with output data already purged to save disk space. Table 6.1 summarizes the color assignments chosengif.
