Reposting a message I sent to the list last March: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out Klaus Daube's Enhanced Toolbar for FM9 (http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker55.html). It's free, but requires the $25 MicroType ToolbarPlus Express (http://www.microtype.com/ToolbarPlus.html), which I highly recommend. I'm still using FM7.2 for production work and haven't had a chance to try Klaus's Enhanced Toolbar for FM9, but it looks like it will help -- at least, it restores colors to the icons, which strikes me as a big improvement. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard G.
