Wendy, Not everything is stored in the USR files, and to be honest I do not know where all your settings eg. font-family might be stored. Your colour scheme would be in a folder called, naturally enough, "Colour Schemes" *but only if you saved it yourself*. If you did, load it in using the button on the bottom right of the Options>Customise>Colours page, and select the file which you created. To just change the colour of the Event Source Indicator (to give it a name) use the Contents button on the colours page. It is easier BTW if you copy across all the USR files, some of them are probably still the default ones, but it will avoid you having to work out which does what.
