Takes a log off/on to apply if you are on as the user when changing via regedit. -Bonnie From: James Rankin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 6:04 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Text colour The corporate desktop is blue...which is why I was trying to find out how to change icon text colour to black via the Registry. Can't do it via the GUI because I am using mandatory profiles and opening the base profile for editing is very dodgy (besides manipulating the Registry). 2008/10/10 Glen Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> I can tell you from my own experience, white on blue is not good for me. I have limited vision and I find that green or yellow on black is much easier on my bad eye.

I work for a disability charity and it's amazing how often people dismiss others problems just because they don't fit into their own interpretation of disability. It's quite possible she is actually just a PITA, but that's not always the case. Andy.

Health and Safety have more powers than the police. And if I say something as non-PC as suggesting she get her eyesight checked, I'd probably find myself fired. 2008/10/10 Joe Fox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> If it looks fine to you and to everyone else, except this user, I would politely suggest that she have her eyeglasses prescription updated.

The mandatory profile also has white icon text with drop shadows. looks nice, I think, and so do most of the users. However, I have one PITA user (who happens to be on the health and safety committee) who says that it looks blurry to her (even with her glasses on), and that it must be changed, as this allegedly constitutes a health and safety violation. Anyone know where in the Registry the icon text colour is stored/altered? I can't seem to find anything via my Google-fu (although it is admittedly weak this morning as I was ensconced in the pub last night). I would much rather just kick the user in question to death, but unfortunately that is not an available option :-) TIA, JRR Internet communications are not secure and therefore Leonard Cheshire Disability does not accept any liability for the content of this message.
