Hi Nikkos: There are no user-facing preferences to control the VenueClient text color. You can find the relevant bits for the Jabber panel in VenueClientUI.py/JabberClientPanel/__init__, here:
self.normalTextAttr = wx.TextAttr(wx.BLACK) self.boldTextAttr = wx.TextAttr(wx.Colour(60,60,60)) f = wx.NORMAL_FONT boldf = wx.Font(f.GetPointSize(),f.GetFamily(),f.GetStyle(),wx.FONTWEIGHT_BOLD) boldf.SetWeight(wx.FONTWEIGHT_BOLD) self.normalTextAttr.SetFont(f) self.boldTextAttr.SetFont(boldf) self.textOutput.SetDefaultStyle(self.normalTextAttr) self.textInput.SetDefaultStyle(self.normalTextAttr) I'm not aware of the icon/smudge problem you mentioned. You could check the AccessGrid bugzilla, and file a bug report if necessary, here: bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/AccessGrid Thanks, Tom On Jan 24, 2011, at 10:23 AM, Nikkos Svoboda wrote: > > I am using the Access Grid 3.2, bundled software package for Windows: > > Is there a method for selecting different text colors used in the jabber > client portion of the Venue Client?
