That's right, there are several different ways to get to the same
window for the Colour Group settings. And until you add new colour
groups yourself, there is only the Generic Colour Group.

Yes. But in the case of folders, I have to set colour groups one
folder at a time as my TB! version will not let me select multiple
folders.

If your TB! version allows you to select multiple folders. Otherwise
just create a new colour group and then right-click a folder, hover
over "Colour Group" in the context menu, and pick the one you want
from the list. Then then right-click another folder, hover over
"Colour Group" in the context menu, and pick the one you want from the
list. And so on. It's tedious but only takes a second or so per 
folder.

True. I generally select the colour group later when I notice I forgot
to do it.

If you are missing anything, it is not obvious to me at the moment.

It seems I spoke without first checking. You're right, I cannot select all

I had previously tried creating a new color group with no success. However, in
response to your reply I decided to try it again. It seems that no matter how
one accesses "Color Group", be it MESSAGE*COLOR GROUP*MANAGE COLOR GROUP,
OPTIONS*PREFERENCES*COLOR GROUP or right-clicking anything in either the account
tree or the message list pane and choosing COLOR GROUP/MANAGE COLOR GROUP, it's
always the same color group window containing GENERIC GROUP/DEFAULT.

That aside, I just discovered that if you create a new color group you can
assign that new color group to any folder in the account tree (but not the whole
account tree unless you select all folders) and any message (but not all unless
you select all) in the message view pane.

So, I suppose I could pre-select all the folders in the account tree and
configure a new color group for all selected folders. That seems to incur a
separate step when adding a new folder to the account tree; i.e., selecting the
proper color group for that new folder.

As is usually the case in matters such as these I'm probably missing something
and if so, I apologize for wasting your time but certainly appreciate your
efforts.

Maybe something changed since my TB! version. Here, folders in the
account tree belong to the "generic group" colour group unless I
allocated them to a different colour group. Changing the settings for
the "generic group" colour group to a different background colour for
"inactive selected" and "inactive selected unread" works here. Note
that this also affects messages that have this colour group.

Or I can allocate the folders, one at a time, to another colour group
that already has the more desirable settings.

No it doesn't. The generic colour group won't change the colours of
font and background in the folder tree. You have to create a colour
group yourself to achieve that. I have most of my folders listed in
white text on a black background, or bold red on a black background if

Well, Color Groups seems to be where it's happening but after trying this, that
and the other thing for an hour, I can never seem to affect the text background
color in the account tree pane. A *selected* folder in the account tree has a
text background of blue but changes to a barely visible gray? when focus is

Focus colors

[Jack S. LaRosa]

Hello TBUDL'ers,

My TB! is currently set to display in "Full width preview pane" (WORKSPACE -
WINDOW SPLIT MODE - FULL WIDTH PREVIEW PANE). The only problem with this display
mode (and all the others I think) is that when focus is switched to the pane
displaying the message body, the background color (blue) previously highlighting
account tree and account folder preview, change to a barely visible gray(?),
pink(?), I can't tell. Anyway, it makes them extremely difficult to see.

I've looked around and tried various different settings which I though should
control this but have been unsuccessful so far. First of all, CAN these
background colors be changed and second, where?

Is it possible to customize the colors in the message listing and the tree panel?

[j7qw]

Hi

I am a new user of The Bat!

I would like to know if it is possible to customize the colors in the 
main message listing and the tree panel. For example, setting the 
background color as black and the email listing (foreground) as white. 
And, if possible, also customizing the colors of the menus, in the same 
way. I have tried with Themes, but only the icons and their background 
are changed.


Can someone help me?

Thank you

You can almost achieve this using colour groups. Screenshot at
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb23/mfpa1/Random/TB_screen.jpg 


Options | Preferences | Messages | Colour Groups and Fonts 
to create/edit your colour groups. 

You then need to manually assign each folder to a colour group to
change the look of the folder/account tree; you can only assign the 
folders, not the account names, and the icons down the left of the 
tree remain on a white background.

Messages you can assign to colour groups manually or automatically
using filters, and I think editing the Generic Group changes the 
look of messages not assigned to any other colour group.



 And, if

I don't know.

I don't know a way to change the background outside of the listed
messages or folders, but you can right-click a folder name in the
folder list/tree and apply a colour group. Most of my folder names are
on a black background and written in red if the folder contains unread
messages, or white if it doesn't. Unfortunately the folder icons at the
far left remain on a white background.

Can't set highlight colors on directory list

[Doug Higby]

Hi Bat Users,

I am frustrated because I can't seem to set the highlight colors in the folder
navigation pane.  These belong to color group Generic Group by default.

In the attached image, you will see why I want to change it. The Beta folder 
is the
one I am browsing in (inactive highlight), but you really have to squint to see 
the
white/beige variation. (It is there, honest!)

If I set the color settings for Generic Group, it has no effect, suggesting 
that even
though these folders belong to Generic Group, they are getting their colors
elsewhere.

Yes, I know I can apply a different Color Group, but I spent 20 minutes the 
other day
assigning a custom color group Folder to every folder I have.  It worked 
great, but
today for some reason, they are all set back to Generic Group again.

I even tried changing themes, but they seem to have no effect on the highlight 
colors
in the window, just the menus.  Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

Hmm.. there is a known behavior for current TB versions  it always uses

What's *really* funny, is that the original Sex made it through, but

Nah... Sex is still accepted as a term to describe gender, and the the
grammatical sense that it was used was sufficient to show that it
meant gender.

Sex is more than the appropriate term. Gender is more of a
reference to grammatical forms and sexual *identity*, not just
sex. Because sex seems to be a dirty word, we refer to gender
when we mean sex.

P Actually it all boils down to the color. Easier to picture what I
P am talking about by trying to make TB! show white text on black
P backgrounds anywhere beyond the built-in ability to re-color the
P message view and edit areas.

This is what I understood you to be saying.

P The problem of TB! adopting as much as it does from the windows
P 'appearance' settings is that TB! also adopts the limitations of
P windows ability to customize colors.

Exactly!!

P Even at the closest I could get trying to make TB! white on black,
P windows looked awful in those areas where black on white is
P preferred (among other windows areas) and TB! still look bad in a
P few critical areas.

I understand.

A For the message list go to Messages/Colour Groups and Fonts, also
A in the preferences. At the bottom of that section is 'Font' with
A a 'Change' button.

MB Yes, I did that. Thanks for putting it so clearly here.

P Clearly put but doesn't make the text look

Yes, for you, I know it's true.

A I agree that the address book list fonts should be made
A configurable.

MB I may put just that on the Wish List, then.

P I suggest trying to re-color TB! white text on black before
P limiting the wish to simply the AB. TB! falls short in much more
P than AB display configuration options. Or more simply, try making
P the account panel white on black..

This is not my preference--I prefer a light background with a dark,
contrasting text, in addition to relatively large font sizes
everywhere.

But I have just been to the various settings menus, and XP is able to
do this according to your preferences, except in the AB and in a few
other dialogue boxes, where my own difficulty is not with colors but
with font size.

P According to MAU W2K help show the TB! color limitations, maybe XP
P also then?

XP has been hard for me to learn, and its arbitrary folder
organization paths and complex Search function would not have been my
choice. I was in Win95 before my monitor died and I realized that my
hard drive was also way too small for my needs and got this new
computer. I was really comfortable in Win95, and just sort of making
do with TB! v. 161, putting up with its lack of legibility on my
screen for the sake of the safety features.

Now that I know what can be done, I want it all!

And I want that for you, too. I don't think you should have to change
your operating system just so you can control the color display in The
Bat!

I put my Wish for better control of the Address Book on Bugtraq this
morning. Bugtraq would not give me a window to express it as a wish,
even though I clicked the Switch button. So I wrote it up as a Bug,
which in a way, it is.

And so is this color-control glitch of yours!

Why don't you go to this address:

https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/news_list_page.php

and put your needs in as either a Wish or a Bug?

I understand your reticence. I was certainly pleasantly surprised to
find as much control of fonts, font sizes, and both font and
background colors, as we now have in v. 2.00.6.

And I think, since the developers are probably all much younger than I
am, and probably much more able-bodied in all respects, including
vision, that the problems in the Address Book might not have even
occurred to them as they were writing this part of the code.

That's why I wanted to draw it to their attention.

I don't think we have to be beta testers for our feedback on the
current release, v. 2.00.6, to be important to them.

All the best to you.

Yes. Some time back, when I felt like trying to use Windows with various
colour schemes, I decided to try the white text on black background
colour scheme. One of the reasons why I quickly stopped using it was
that TB! didn't adequately support showing such a colour scheme.

set font styles, font sizes, and font colors (especially the second
quote colors in the Edit Mail Message window) and backgrounds in both
Plain Text and Source, through Options/Preferences/Messages and
Options/Preferences/Editor/Viewer.

I now have a screen that is easy on my old eyes, and I have been able
to put the Windows pixels back from 800x600 to 1280x1024. In 1.61 I
could not control the Header fields through TB!, and had resorted to
800x600 as a rather inadequate solution.

For this alone The Bat! v. 2.00.6 is worth the price of admission to

  does..  Different colors depending on the level of quote.  First level
  in red, second level in blue, third in magenta, fourth in something
  else...  It's the one thing that I've considered going back to OE
  for...   And it doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to implement to

  OE-Quotefix also does lots of nice reformatting on quotes...  I can

Note that for each colour group you create, you'll be able to adjust the
text foreground and background colour for the message when read and
unread.

When finished, you can now go back to your message lists, select the
message/s you wish to colour, right click on them and go to the colour
group option towards the bottom of the menu.

  I ignored the last posts on changing colors...I should have paid
  attention.  What I would like to do is change the color of this
  background from white to something not so brightgray maybe.  Can that
  be done through The Bat!?

IIRC,  it  was said that TB! windows respect your Windows settings. If
you  wanted  to  change  the background of the messages/folder/account
lists,  then  change  your  windows settings. (Control Panel - Display
Properties  -  Appearance  (  addition  step  for  XP  is the Advanced
button)).

A not very important question..(colors)

[Rick Reumann]

Just curious, I noticed I can change the background color for my
viewing pleasure of the message window, but I can't seem to find a way
to change the background color of the folder list or the message list.
Are those not customizable? I'm not a color freak or anything but
just get tired of looking at the all white background.

you can change the colors in the message list by options - message
list colors, and changing the atributes of the generic group, and
every other group if you have any.

But I don't know how to chage the colors in the tree view, and would
like to know it.

 But as far as I can tell that only changes the color of the
 messages and not the background color. Would be nice to have a
 little more control of the colors of things in The Bat. I know
 others are saying there are more important things to work on than
 the frilly stuff. I agree. Certainly wouldn't trade the Bat for
 anything and would never want functionality to be squandered on
 too much time spent on other frills. Still would be a nice option
 to mess more with the colors though.

Those two panes use system colors. To change the background color it
has to be done system wide. Right click on the desktop/choose
properties/open the appearance tab and you can change the settings
from there. HTH

You can change the background colors.

Look at the message list colour configuration panel again. For each
colour group, you can configure colours for when the message is read
and for when it's unread. For the unread and read colour settings, you
can change the colour of the text and also of the text background.

ACM You can change the background colors.


only the area behind the text of the message, but not around that. If
you have few columns, or use a threaded view, it get's pretty ugly,
because the background color that you _can't_ change shows up.

  Yes, I just noticed that. Plus say you want the whole background to
  be a different color, you would have to actually change the
  background color of every single color group, both read and unread.
  Too much work. Not a big deal, I can live with white.

  Side note: I was just helping my brother set up his mac g4 and was
  helping him set up OE for mail and showing him how use the 'rules'
  etc. Man, I forgot how crippled other mail clients compared to the
  Bat (or Pegasus for that matter). It's been so long since I used NS
  or OE for e-mail, I forgot how limited they really are.  I'll be
  setting up an old Mac with Linux some time soon... what am I going
  to do without a Bat for Linux.

  Still vote for a feature request to be able to modify the UI colors
  a bit more.

colors, colors everywhere

[Jarek Hirny]

Am  I  mistaken, or can't I redefine colors for folder tree? I managed
to reconfigure them for message list, editor and email viewer, but not
for folder list.

Also,  IMHO it'd  be nice, if colors could be defined globally in one place
-- not in three different menus, as it is now.

Colours has to be one of the most inadequately and confusingly documented
features of TB. The Message list colours page in Help? C'mon! If ever there is
a new release of TB, I hope that there will be a priority placed on a decent
Help file.
