Hi Keith and Scott, You can indeed use FrameScript or the FDK to change the appearance of these conditions. They can be programmatically changed just like any other condition. However, the changes do not survive when you close and reopen the document. The solution I have used is a FrameScript event script that automatically changes them when the document is opened. I am sure you could do this with the FDK as well. Keith, if you are interested in a FrameScript solution, please contact me offlist. Thanks.
