This was done on purpose and quite long ago: we found it rather bothering to read such bluish gui. Anyhow, now we have restored the original appearance, though it brought us a problem (see below). >PS: The new PropBgGrnd.bmp tile makes the panel much more >readable than last time. I can see why you'd have changed it What do you mean by _new_? Do you mean there is a different background than the original bluish one? If so, send me the bitmap and we'll insert it. > As per the 16 January email, the bottom half of the VNC > PropertyTab should read "When Connecting to > <b>ServerName</b> from <b>MyMachine</b> > use these settings". Right now it still says "VNC Viewer". You mean to move the text to the group caption. There would be no problem using the _standard_ gui appearance. But as we returned to the original Kaboodle background, implementation of <b>ServerName</b> from <b>MyMachine</b> style will require certain efforts (some 5 days). This is because the owner-drawn group control should use the bmp as the background rather than the default. An alternative could be to place the labels above the group rectangles leaving the groups themselves uncaptioned. (see the "Components" Tab for example). This will require no more than 2 hours. >1.
