>Developers think they know better than users?. IMO, the problem on this forum is that too many developers believe that the Windows color scheme is the only scheme in town. It sometimes makes sense to provide visual clues to bring special attention to a control's value. If I use color as the visual clue, I provide a "Color Management form" where the user can pick any color scheme he wants for the special elements. I never received a complaint other than the user's manual not describing the feature in enough details.

Daniel,

How did you do the "Color Management" form? What stategy did you use? It sounds like something I would like to implement. Not asking for your code perse, but could I at least see an example of the layout?
