Record Window Background Colour

Post by Stu » 19 Mar 2008 11:55

Hi,
Is there any way to change the record window background colour?  The reason I ask is that when I am in the properties dialog with the record window shown in the background, I cannot see the individual record I am on highlighted.  When in the record window, the record is highlighted blue, but when in the properties dialog it is still highlighted but only very slightly darker than other records.  I would like to make the highlighted record more visible, either by changing the background colour of other records or the current record itself.

Ok, this is a windows option itself, not FH, but I haven't yet found the right combination of colours.

I think this should do it:

1)Right click on desktop background
2) a) In XP: Choose Properties, then Appearance Settings
b) In Vista: Choose Personalize, then Windows Color and Appearance, then 'Open Classic Appearance...'
3) Choose 'Advanced...'
4) Choose the item 'Window' from the list and then set the color you want.

The grey colour of the selected item when not the active window is dictated by the colour of '3D Objects' in the list.
