Thank you Cathy, you saved me yet again. You way you explained it made me realize that I should click on the parts of the screen while the pink box first opens. I had been making the mistake of thinking that I had to change the background colours after selecting one of the links/options within the pink box.

John, Options - Change Colours gets you to the full Colour Change screen. It opens a pink box. When that is open you can click on all parts of the screen and choose different colours. Note some areas you may want to change don't have a fairly small area to click without bringing up the colour change options for something else entirely. eg the background - you may actually click on one of the hidden quick navigation panes next to the name boxes. For some things you need to go to the link for other user-interface colours OR go straight there in Options - Customise 9.2 When you have the colours as you like, make sure you save them for future use with your own distinctive name. Then you can just choose your own colour scheme again if you have to reset your settings to Legacy defaults. I add my initials to any colour scheme I create to make them easy to spot in the list. Saved colour schemes are at ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\ColorSchemes\ folder For extra safety backup this folder or your own colour schemes files to your off computer backup.

The only bit of background I was able to change are strips which tells the relationships, between husband, wife and their parents. -----Original Message----- From: Gene Young Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2018 9:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Is it possible to change colours in the “Vintage” colour scheme in Family View and Pedigree View? Right click on the background and select change color scheme. [email protected], 11 October 2018 6:13 AM I had a bug and in process of fixing it, the person from Legacy Technical Support told me to delete the usr file. This solved the problem but it also deleted all of my customised settings including background colours. I cannot find a way to get the Family View or Pedigree View background colours back to how they were. All of the available colour schemes are basically gradient except Vintage. I do not like gradient because I have a visual impairment. Vintage however seems to only have one colour scheme which is too bright and I cannot find a way to change its colours. I have tried options in the user-interface colours but nothing changes the colour of the background around the field boxes in Family View and Pedigree View. From my memory of when I set the colours many years ago, I used Vintage and changed the background colour, so I believe it can be done somehow. John
