Hi,
How can you change the background color and text in OE 6.x ? Similar to
changing IE | Tools | Options | Accessibility
This bright white background is killin my eyes. On IE the background has
been changed to grey with black text.
Thanks for your help and tips ; Novice @ New Orleans Louisiana

Right click on the Desktop | Properties | Appearance | Advanced Button.
Click the drop-down arrow under Items and select Windows. Color 1 is White.
Click that drop-down arrow and select a different color and Apply.

Please include all previous messages in your replies. It makes things much
easier for us to follow. Thank you.
You missed a step. When you clicked the Advanced button, Desktop was in the
Item view by default and that is what you changed. You need to click the
drop-down arrow at the right of Desktop and then select Windows at the
bottom. Then, change the color.

Assuming WinXP:
Right click a blank spot on the desktop and choose Properties.
Click The Appearance tab.
Click the Advanced button.
Click the white space after Windows Text.
Change the color.
