One way you can change the GoldSim user interface in a purely cosmetic way is to change the application theme. You can do this by selecting View | Application Theme… from the main menu:
GoldSim provides six different themes.
Themes change the color scheme of user interface items such as application windows and toolbars. You can experiment with the various themes to see if you prefer one over the others.
The final option in the menu is to “Reflect Simulation Mode in Status Bar”. At any given time, a GoldSim model is in one of five simulation states (referred to as modes): Edit Mode, Run Mode, Pause Mode, Result Mode and Scenario Mode. The mode that the model is in is clearly identified via text in the status bar (in the lower left-hand corner of the GoldSim window). More importantly, the status bar takes on a different color in each mode.
If this option is checked (the default), the color of the status bar always reflects the simulation mode (it is not controlled by the application theme). If this option is cleared, the color of the status bar does not reflect the simulation mode (it is controlled by the application theme). In most cases, it is recommended that you choose the default for this option.
