Hi Mike, >From what I just found, it appears that you need to send your message in "rich text HTML" format in order to change the background color. While in an open message, choose the format menu, make sure that "rich text format" is checked and then open the background sub-menu, and then choose color from the 3 available options. No first letter navigation in the list of colors, so you will just have arrow to white, and then hit enter to check the box. I believe that the text color is determined by the O/S, and cannot be changed. Unless I don't understand what foreground and background colors that Jaws is reporting, I would say that it is reporting it incorrectly, which may be a bug in Jaws or some type of setting. It reports the same to me whether I am in a plain text or html message, and my background color is set to white for rich text format. I am running Jaws 15 latest build, Win 7.

Hi All, I'm running Win7, Outlook Express, & J15. I noticed that background & foreground colors in new messages are reported as black on black. How can I or, where do I go to change this to black on white? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take Care. Mike This email was sent from my iBarstool.
