Larry,
No you can't get the background to change colour etc.
You can include your hashtag as one of your 5 fields that display on
Family View.
You can use the Legacy style gedcom with TNG. In fact I think it's
recommended that you do. Hashtags can be included in it and displayed on
TNG. Sorry I don't do it myself but know that it is done. When you
choose the Legacy style and then see the the list of tags exported under
the Customise button, you'll see it includes Hashtag.

I am looking for suggestions/best way to handle – this is a
combination question that involves Legacy Family Tree and TNG The Next
Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding.
For more than 20 years everything with my tree has been great but, as
in life, “stuff happens”!
I want to add a large group of individuals to my Legacy database who
share the same surname BUT are not descended from the “original
immigrant” and in fact, they are not actually related as they are
descended from a completely different surname. Actually this group
“should be” a separate family tree but that’s not what I want to do
because I want them IN my tree because of the common surname today.
What I want is a way to “tag” or “hashtag” or place a marker or color
on the “family view” for anyone related to this particular name such
that it is immediately clear that the individual is of another family
group. I suspect this can be accomplished by using the tag or hashtag
feature without issue but I’d prefer a change in color, or a big
exclamation point on the screen to tell me “this individual is from
the OTHER family” which makes for quick ID purposes. I know I can
change the colors of the “tag” based on which tag I’m using but I’d
like a blatantly obvious change like changing the background color of
the Name field in the Family View based on the tag or hashtag used???
Is this even possible?
Something like the above would remedy my Legacy question but...
…then there is the hard part (that’s because I’m not sure how to do it
or even it’s possible) – I want to be able to export the file to a
standard GEDCOM 5.5.1 file AND have those individuals I’ve identified
somehow marked such that when I “publish” the GEDCOM to my TNG – The
Next Generation online database, those I have tagged are separately
identified. Is it possible that using a custom event, such as already
exists like _TAG Record Tag 1, would work?
I will also post this query to the forum related to the other database
for input.
Suggestions appreciated…
