Good evening tbbeta, Change the color in "Options/Preferences/Header Layout/Editor" for "Seletected field text" and "Selected field background".
Then create a new message. The cursor is placed in the "To"-field. At this point the background color is used correctly, but the foreground color is NOT. You have to leave the field (<tab>) and re-enter it (<shilft+tab>) to get the defined foreground color. -- Regards, Peter Using Ritlabs TheBat! 3.0.9.9 Return (pre-beta) (OS: Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2) ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.9.9 Return | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
