A not very important question..(colors)

2002-05-18 Thread Rick Reumann

Just curious, I noticed I can change the background color for my
viewing pleasure of the message window, but I can't seem to find a way
to change the background color of the folder list or the message list.
Are those not customizable? I'm not a "color" freak or anything but
just get tired of looking at the all white background.

you can change the colors in the message list by options -> message
list colors, and changing the atributes of the generic group, and
every other group if you have any.

But I don't know how to chage the colors in the tree view, and would
like to know it.

Those two panes use system colors. To change the background color it
has to be done system wide. Right click on the desktop/choose
properties/open the appearance tab and you can change the settings
from there. HTH

You can change the background colors.

Look at the message list colour configuration panel again. For each
colour group, you can configure colours for when the message is read
and for when it's unread. For the unread and read colour settings, you
can change the colour of the text and also of the text background.

 But as far as I can tell that only changes the color of the
 messages and not the background color. Would be nice to have a
 little more control of the colors of things in The Bat. I know
 others are saying there are more important things to work on than
 the frilly stuff. I agree. Certainly wouldn't trade the Bat for
 anything and would never want functionality to be squandered on
 too much time spent on other frills. Still would be a nice option
 to mess more with the colors though.

ACM> You can change the background colors.


only the area behind the text of the message, but not around that. If
you have few columns, or use a threaded view, it get's pretty ugly,
because the background color that you _can't_ change shows up.

  Yes, I just noticed that. Plus say you want the whole background to
  be a different color, you would have to actually change the
  background color of every single color group, both read and unread.
  Too much work. Not a big deal, I can live with white.

  Side note: I was just helping my brother set up his mac g4 and was
  helping him set up OE for mail and showing him how use the 'rules'
  etc. Man, I forgot how crippled other mail clients compared to the
  Bat (or Pegasus for that matter). It's been so long since I used NS
  or OE for e-mail, I forgot how limited they really are.  I'll be
  setting up an old Mac with Linux some time soon... what am I going
  to do without a Bat for Linux.

  Still vote for a feature request to be able to modify the UI colors
  a bit more.
