Background Color

Is there a way in L4 to change the background color from the default white? I use either a gray or tan background to ease eyestrain when doing prolonged reading. L3 picked up the Windows setting so I was wondering if L4 could be customized. Thank you.

    Funny, we discussed some of the features we liked about Pradis in the Forums right after it was announced Zondervan was retiring Pradis to make Libronix offerings (http://community.logos.com/forums/p/1705/13726.aspx#13726).  Three things we mentioned LOGOS would benefit from was 1) a pane system, 2) a tab system, and 3) tasteful color options.  Two outta three ain't bad, and I concur, grey and tan (and even light shades of green-grey, blue-grey, etc.) have proven helpful to me.  Maybe LOGOS 4.1 will incorporate background color changes, but I don't see anything on it right now.

     

    I also would like this facility

    +1! It's there even in e-sword...

    Not to mention the fact as we age (55 at present) oue eyes do fail- and it would be very help to us who do spend hours studying using L4, to be able to save our sight a little[:O]

    I would also like to put in my vote for this feature. I have "toned down" the plain white background for years, and it has proved much easier to read for these old eyes!!

    I would like to have the active window border a bit more obvious. A one pixel increase in width just does not stand out for me. Why is there no color change of the title bar as in other Windows programs? I find myself clicking in a window just to make sure it is active.

    I also want to make the colors of the scroll bar more obvious. They are so pale, I usually cannot see the grabber bar. Control of the color scheme would really help.

    Harry, you are absolutely right! At 1920 x 1050 pixels in my screen, 1 pixel is like, ah... 0,05% width change, near to impossible to detect.

    Keeping it alive...Customizable colors would be a big +!

    Would it be enough if we just adopt the background color you've set for windows in Windows itself, or do we need "local" control specific to Logos?

    I'm fine with white, but if its going to be done i think this one needs to be local.

    Local would be better, MHO

    Yes I am...and looking back at my post I'm pretty sure I know why you asked [;)]

    To me it makes a big difference the way the interface looks and I would definitely suggest a locally customizable interface for not just background but also text color etc.  Also it would be helpful when I change the default font what it would look like before changing it.  In other words have each font that is listed appearing as it should when you change it.  Tahoma in the list will look like tahoma,  times new roman will look like times new roman etc.

    I vote local.

    It would be nice if the active window somehow showe brighter or something. If it is doing that now, it is not obvious.

    Thanks for asking us!!!

    Quite agree - customizable local colours for panes and overall.

    I personally don't have any issue with it, but it seems like it would fit well under right under the text size selector. Local control would be most obvious and probably best.

    I was looking at the Kindle PC reader which had a gray background - I would really appreciate this added to Logos.  Anyone heard anything about this?

    I am a sofware engineer - and in MS VS.NET (programming tool) I use black background (see attached)image.

    Did you know you can select a gray background (as well as several others) via the Tools > Program Settings > Accessability ?

    Knew this - but the colors are strange and have not similarity to those available to most Windows programs.  In addition they are global - every window looks the same.  We are looking for the ability to add individual colors to individual panes.  Even if we only had the LOGOS colors, it would be an improvement to the current situation, though not ideal.

    I agree with this.

    It really does need to be local.

    Not a big priority for me. I would put it on the list of the desired improvements for the year 2011 [:D]

    You can do that.  Just go into program settings and choose your poison.  I have mine set to paper which isn't that much different from white but which takes a bit of the edge off the glare.
