Hi, Mike, et al-- This is true. Mike and I obviously have different concerns. I am legally blind and can only read white fonts against dark backgrounds. The size and color of the icons in 3.07 don't bother me because I use a screen magnifying program. It's the color of the icon background that bothers me. So far, I have been unable to do anything about the very light color behind the icons. The same problem exists in the database and configuration areas. Since the background is very light there too, and I have to use white fonts, I cannot see the white lettering against the light background. Apparently, there is no way to change the color of this background. I have tried everything possible in properties>appearance and, even if I use the scheme setting in appearances, the background to the icons and the configuration areas still remains white. So: unless somebody has another idea, I guess I'll just have to stay with v2.51. Ira is right, of course. 3.07 does have a lot of improvements in terms of accessibility. As he pointed out previously, I can now change the font size and color in "notes", I couldn't do that in 2.51 but, at the same time, there were no white background areas in 2.51 either. At any rate, thanks for the help. walt boswell [email protected] At 05:19 PM 05/20/2001 +0000, MJ wrote: >My thanks to all those who gave suggestions for changing the appearance of >program windows. >I'm quite happy with the program window apparance it's the day-glo pink >color of the CFT source icon that I wanted to change. >I beleive my request was confused with the gentleman who wanted bigger type >against a different backgrond in this windows programs, the suggestions >offered will do that but not change icon colors. > >Mike > > >==== CFT-WIN Mailing List ==== >To unsubscribe from CFT-WIN, send an e-mail message to: > [email protected] (for individual messages) > [email protected] (for Digest mode) >Subject: unsubscribe >In the body include only one word: unsubscribe >(Turn OFF your signature file when sending this command) > >============================== >Search over 1 Billion names at Ancestry.com! >http://www.ancestry.com/rd/rwlist1.asp
