Quick Template Editor background colour
Hi I have just encountered the re-vamped QT editor and cannot read my QTs in it because the text and background are now the same colour and I cannot find a way to change the background colour. In my viewer/editor preferences I have white text on a black background, which is much easier on the eyes when reading/composing messages. The old-style QT editor followed those settings. The new-style QT editor honours the text colour but shows the background in white, regardless of what colour I set. As a workaround, I have to change my text colour in the viewer/editor preferences any time I wish to view/edit/create a QT. Does anybody know if there is a new, hidden setting for the QT editor background setting? -- Best regards, MFPA Volvo, Video, Velcro. (I came, I saw, I stuck around.)

Upgrade to the most recent version. Create a new viewer profile (never mind the actual settings) Change the used profile of the QT editor to that new profile and then set it back to the generic profile You set the viewer profile of the QT editor in the menu of the QT editor. IIRC editor profiles were a work in progress in the previous version, so they might not work as intended in your 4.0.28 -- Groetjes, Roelof WinErr 004: Erroneous error - nothing is wrong http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 4.0.34 Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6001 Service Pack 1 3 pop3 accounts OTFE enabled Quad Core 2.4GHz 4 GB RAM pgp3JCHRk0Lys.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
