>>I too have this same problem. Plus, why must the Property Window ALWAYS be open. Even when I close a Form/Class editor, the Property window remains open, but with the Screen properties. I have never found a need to modify the screen properties in design time.

When I'm working on two versions of the same project, I put different background colors for _screen in the two instances of Fox that I'm running, and also different _screen.caption, so I know where I am. Now if there was a color which would immediately scream "this is the new" and another for "this is the old", I'd be glad to adopt them :).

Interesting idea.
