Customising color of interface?

Cavair · Post by **Cavair** » 02 Jan 2012 00:24

Ive just bought v4 after having used v3 and wish id used the trial version first!
I dont like the mix of pale grey and blue of the interface and would hope i can change the colors somehow?
I would like more contrast in the tabbed records (especially Spouses & children, Parents & siblings) the background color, color of text and the right hand box with Individual facts.
On initial browsing i find it a most unhelpful mix, and cant find any reference in Help as to any customising possibilities.
Can users change the colors/shades in any way?

If its not available in v4 will it be possible in v5?

Have you looked at Tools > Preferences > Focus Window tab, and experimented with the Fonts and Colours buttons at the bottom?

Also Tools > Record Window Options > Display tab Colours button.

There are a few others and possibly even more with FH V5.

Please note that there are 63 topics in Help if you search for 'customize' and 21 if you search for 'colour', including one for What's New in Family Historian 4.0? which includes:

There are numerous customization options for the Focus Window, including a Fonts button which allows you to choose your preferred font for all 10 fonts used in the Focus Window. You can also choose your own preferred colours, under 19 different headings.
