But all >Apple lets you change is the label colors, the window trim colors The system tries not to make heavy use of color so that applications can do so. There's a technical issue (sharing the color table), and a visual issue (not detracting from the application's display). A color image in a neutral window makes a much bigger impact, than in a window with colored borders. -- Larry Rosenstein, Apple Computer, Inc. lsr@apple.com (or AppleLink: Rosenstein1)
