Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
My colours stay red whether I am in scrolling view or not - I've looked at changing colours in Windows as Sherry suggested but Windows are quite adamant that whilst changing font colours and other colours is quite possible it will only change Windows and will not affect any programmes! I cannot work out why there is a difference on people's views unless there is some kind of setting in Legacy that we still haven't figured out.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
Well you are lucky - at least some of your text turns white - my problem is the fact that *none* of the text turns white at any time under the highlight no matter what view I am in - be it Best Fit, One, Two or Three Columns or Grid View - there seem to be several of us having similar problems but not all the same problems. Do we report this as a bug or is it merely a setting that we haven't found yet. It would be interesting to find out just how many people are seeing / not seeing white text under highlights under any types of Children's Views.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
Meant to say - under the Scroll View if a male is on the top line the text turns to red under the blue highlighting - whereas on the other views they stay blue when you right click to highlight - which makes the writing worse to read.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
I think this is a case of apples and oranges and you are both right in your contexts. In the normal children column view Kirsty is seeing that the highlighted children' names etc remain the colour for males, females and unknown gender (I see the same). I think Sherry is talking about the children list in Scrolling/Grid view where the gender colours do not apply and where the text colour for a highlighted child changes to white.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
Thanks Sherry - I have fiddled with all of the colours in Legacy that I can think of so I will now have a look at the Windows schemes - although I must admit I have never changed any of the colour settings in there but will give anything a go.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
Sherry, I have gone to the Brown Gradient Colours now to see if it makes a difference (I had my own colours in place as I had set them up for 7.5) but in grid view the blue highlight on the first child is still red and does not change to white. There is no highlight by using and of the columns view or the best fit view but I like the information on the grid view. Also you cannot scroll with the mouse on this view unless you go to the Mother, then the Father, then back to the Mother - and then the mouse scroll works (I realise I can use the scroll bar on the right hand side but the mouse is an automation reaction!) If I go to the two, three or best fit view and right click on a child the highlight colour is bright blue and the writing underneath is still red. I set the colours for text males as blue and females as red with Unknown as black - I assume this would not have anything to do with it At the moment I am on .364 - the later build looked as though it was mainly concerning the geo basis but I can try that build if you think it will make any difference. Also the highlight is still there on the Potential Problems screen as well. (As an aside I also miss the two click - it is probably force of habit but everything on my computer has my brain trained to double click to open) to my mind it is a time saving issue more than anything else (albeit will be argued by some that the time taken to do two clicks to edit someone from the child list is minimal it is obvious that others are also finding it frustrating.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
I'm not talking about the highlight changing to white - I'm talking about the letters changing to white. The highlight is going to stay blue unless you can convince Microsoft otherwise - good luck with that! There is highlight on the grid view because it's a grid view. Like a spreadsheet or the Index or Descendant view Double or single click will move the child to focus. A right click gives you an option to Edit.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
Marion, Let me comment on 2 side items you mention ... 1/ Every new build of Legacy right now is fixing many issues. You may see a focus in the announcements on a particular issue, but right now, a lots of little tweaks are coming in as a response to issues raised on this list and elsewhere. Maybe hold back a day to make sure there are no humongous problems, but best to move forward. We have seen people reporting on issues this week on the initial L8 build as they never updated. -- When you report an issue with Legacy on this list, please try to announce what version of Legacy yo are reporting again, what build, what Windows OS you are using. It turns out that some of the folks with problems updating the GeoDB had the problem because they were using a Windows 7 32 bit OS. And that made a difference. 2/ I was one of the loudest grumblers on the Test team when the programmers had to take out double click navigation. By now, my fingers have learned single click and actually now prefer it. Double-click navigation has always been somewhat un-reliable in Legacy but with the new L8 Family View it was completely unusable. Sigh... So, no, I do not think it can, or should, come back. john.

Sherry - the letters underneath are not white - they are still the same colour (either red or blue depending on whether it is male or female). John - I wasn't reporting an issue - I was asking if anyone else had the same highlight colour and whether I could change it at all. I have already reported an unrelated problem to Support who are working through it for me. This was just a query as to whether there was something I could change in settings. Obviously the blue highlight cannot be changed - now I have to work out why my letters are not changing to white when the line is highlighted as Sherry says they should. As I posted I am on .364 - the latest version concerned the Geo problems - the highlight and the non changing colour for the letters has been there since Day 1 and has no changed in each update. There are always teething problems with all new updates on nearly every programme - it is just a matter of sorting through what can be altered on this side of the fence.

Lisle [mailto:leg...@tqsi.com] *Sent:* December 19, 2013 04:44 PM *To:* LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com *Subject:* Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour Marion, Let me comment on 2 side items you mention ... 1/ Every new build of Legacy right now is fixing many issues. You may see a focus in the announcements on a particular issue, but right now, a lots of little tweaks are coming in as a response to issues raised on this list and elsewhere. Maybe hold back a day to make sure there are no humongous problems, but best to move forward. We have seen people reporting on issues this week on the initial L8 build as they never updated. -- When you report an issue with Legacy on this list, please try to announce what version of Legacy yo are reporting again, what build, what Windows OS you are using. It turns out that some of the folks with problems updating the GeoDB had the problem because they were using a Windows 7 32 bit OS. And that made a difference. 2/ I was one of the loudest grumblers on the Test team when the programmers had to take out double click navigation. By now, my fingers have learned single click and actually now prefer it. Double-click navigation has always been somewhat un-reliable in Legacy but with the new L8 Family View it was completely unusable. Sigh... So, no, I do not think it can, or should, come back. john.

There is no highlight by using and of the columns view or the best fit view but I like the information on the grid view. Also you cannot scroll with the mouse on this view unless you go to the Mother, then the Father, then back to the Mother - and then the mouse scroll works (I realise I can use the scroll bar on the right hand side but the mouse is an automation reaction!) If I go to the two, three or best fit view and right click on a child the highlight colour is bright blue and the writing underneath is still red. I set the colours for text males as blue and females as red with Unknown as black - I assume this would not have anything to do with it At the moment I am on .364 - the later build looked as though it was mainly concerning the geo basis but I can try that build if you think it will make any difference. Also the highlight is still there on the Potential Problems screen as well. (As an aside I also miss the two click - it is probably force of habit but everything on my computer has my brain trained to double click to open) to my mind it is a time saving issue more than anything else (albeit will be argued by some that the time taken to do two clicks to edit someone from the child list is minimal it is obvious that others are also finding it frustrating. Do you think that it could ever be brought back?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
Hi Marion, There is no way to change the highlight colour. But you can change the colour of the text for male and female by clicking on a child when in Colour Change Mode. I think you need to be viewing the children in columns rather than the scrolling grid to do this. But for me the text under the highlight goes white in all colour schemes I've tried. It's got nothing to do with the Design Style that only affects the colour and style of the Ribbon. The Tabs for Legacy Home/Family/Pedigree etc are controlled by the Options Ribbon Tab Style and Tab Colour. The colours for the rest of the screen are controlled by the Options Ribbon - Change Colours where you can choose another colour scheme entirely or adjust the one you are using by clicking on the bit of the screen you want to change. Some things are at other Interface options at Options - Customise section 9. Changing the background colour of the Scrolling grid can make the names hard to read. Would it help to make the font bigger?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
It seems that the scrolling grid is the only place where the highlight occurs on the Children's View (apart from the Potential Problems list) Yes it does matter (I do not care about pretty - I am purely about practical) - if you right click on the person it only gives you the first name of the child - I am looking at the RIN number. Sex, Birth Date and Birth Place plus Death and Death Place - important information required when checking records and I don't need to keep on putting the child into the main screen to see those details - I want to see all of the names and details at the same time - which was why I was asking if anyone else had the problem or could it be changed. For me the text underneath the highlight does not change colour - if I could make it white that would help but I still haven't found a way to do that either - and I have played around with changing the various colours and fonts to make for easier reading.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
I have a lot of problems reading through the Windows highlights in every program that has rows to highlight!. I scan the list for what I want before selecting it. If I need to read something in the row that's highlighted, I just move the highlight one row below or above the row I need to read. I know this won't work in the scrolling list if you have only one child. However, in the scrolling list, aren't you seeing the highlighted child in white? I tried several color schemes and they're all changed from blue or red to white when highlighted. Which color scheme are you using?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
The highlight stays on the first child so the other children aren't a problem. Interesting though because the names are all white for me and with my vision issues I have no problem seeing the names through the blue highlight. I'm using default Brown Gradient colors and tested it with several other color schemes, gradient and non-gradient, and they've all been white. If you're not seeing white fonts under the highlight, which color scheme are you using? Do you have the latest build 8.0.0.366? The comment about highlighting the item above or below the one you want to read is a general tip when you're working in Windows and have a highlighted row you want to view.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
Have tried every different Design Style now - the same issue is still there (although I have found that at least with the Design Style the text on the Icons in the Ribbon bar is a lot clearer and the font is little more spaced out!!!)

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
Same problem with the Potential Problems List - the highlight is bright blue and the text is red - very difficult to read - any suggestions on this one?

When a child is highlighted in the scrolling grid of children, the text, whether originally red for females or blue for males, changes colour to white. This is very easy to see against a blue background. Using the default(?) 'Windows 7 Scenic' style. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
