Is it possible to change the background colour of the main pane in
DPlingScan to other than brilliant white?

I would like a neutral grey background to reduce the glare.

I expect it might be one of the templates in the Templates - but which
one, there are dozens??

'Main' - just set the work background colour.

It would be obvious when you opened it. However, I suspect (not having
DPlingScan) that the main window will be redrawn under task control, which
may mean that the window background is set by the application and not by the
value in the templates (which may well be 'transparent', meaning that the
Wimp doesn't redraw the window background).

Isn't there a config option?

OK, thanks Ian, that has done it.

Load !DplngScan.Resources.UK.Templates into an Window Template editor and
adjust 'Main'.

Inside OvPro AppDir ...!OvnPro.!OvnResDir.UK.Templates

Drop this on something like TemplEd or similar.

There's something like 109 template files in there, so you'll need to pull
the window open, on my OvPro it is template number 57 counting from the
top left.

I'm assuming thereafter you know how to edit the window..

Cheers

Thanks. I had misconstrued Roger's reference to Templates. I've
now made an adjustment as he wished to do.
