Here's what I believe some reasonable solutions would have been... 1. Standardize all color settings to utilize Windows O/S property settings. (good solution - however, Windows only)
2. Add Window Color Properties (not just background) to the Client Options/Preference Server settings. (better solution - platform/application independent) -Christopher Michaud "L. J.

Results from reporting to BMC = nothing was done. -Christopher Michaud "Reiser, John J" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "Action Request System discussion list(ARSList)" <[email protected]> 03/05/2007 11:58 AM Please respond to [email protected] To [email protected] cc Subject Re: ARS 6.3 Patch 21 FYI - Date field pop-up flaw ** Leigh, It's the active window title bar that gets used. I ended up selecting the "Silver" theme on my laptop (Windows XP) and that gave me dark Title text. HTH, John J.

I did get two emails about an hour ago. You?re absolutely right about it being a problems with the Windows settings and NOT the ARS. I?ve been testing the new install on my laptop (usually I?m on a second monitor screen and don?t have any problem). If I look very, very closely I CAN see some writing white on nearly white. I?ll play around with the colors to see if I can make it darker.

My apologies if it posts twice. Leigh, I'm not sure this is your problem but I experienced an issue with the date pop-up and it had nothing to do with the ARSystem. I had changed Windows' properties and the font color chosen by Remedy to display the Month Year at the top of the date dialog was almost the same as that of the background. It looked as if the text disappeared. Unless you mean the dialog doesn't even show the individual days of the month, then I'm barking up the wrong tree. HTH, John J.

When I use the pop-up calendar associated with a date field, there is NO MONTH displayed. I?ve submitted a ticket with Column IT who provide my support (which BTW has been EXCELLENT) but I don?t expect them to address it until Monday. I figured if there is a work around someone on this list will know or maybe I?ve done wrong! Does anyone know of a correction? I am NEVER on the ?bleeding edge? of these releases, but with DST that?s where I find myself. Thanks, Leigh The information contained in this message may be privileged and/or confidential.
