Re: Previously selected message indicator color
I don't think so but I've never tried that. I was able to change the colors I wanted to change from within TB as described in a previous post. OK, thanks for that info - I should look into doing some tweaking, too, then. :-) Fred Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Since I've never created a color group of my own, the only one available for me to EDIT is GENERIC GROUP. It's not particularly easy to understand because of the names chosen to represent different things in your display but if you play around with it, eventually you'll get something usable. Which I did.

Re: Previously selected message indicator color
Does anybody know where those colors can be changed? Isn't that controlled by the Windows colors for selected and unselected text in Control Panel? (And not from a The Bat setting.)
