Hi Gwen, Note there are quite a number of preset colour schemes to choose from in Legacy 8 so before you start your own customising, you might want to check them out and start from the one you like best - there are far more than are offered during installation.
On the Options Ribbon, click Change Colours (or right clicking on an empty space on Family View will bring up a menu with one of the choices Change Colour Scheme - this gets you to the same place). To try a different colour scheme click "Choose an Alternate Colour Scheme" Note some have "Tab" as part of their name. This refers to the Header style of the windows within Legacy and can be changed from Options - Customise - 9.2 - so if you like the colours but prefer the other Header style, that's the place to go. Now for your question. When in Change Colour Scheme mode - Click on a Child. There you can choose different colours for male and female and unknown gender. These colours are used on Family View in the Child List only, in Pedigree View and in Index View, When you're happy with the colours, don't forget to save your scheme. Use the Options button in the "Pink box" or the save at Options - Customise - 9. The look of Legacy is so customisable. The difficulty is that there are 3 different places to go. The "Pink box" section (9.1); the 9.2 options (and that's where Home View colours are changed); and the Options Tab Style and Tab Colour. When you save a colour scheme you save all these options. Did I say just 3 different places? Ribbon colour and style are set from the Design drop down on the Ribbon. The colour settings were one of the things I worked with in the pre-release period. If you think they're complicated now and not all you desire, you should have seen them then ;-) More than you asked.
