Hi there,

Does anyone have a solution for my small problem?
I lost my settings and copied an old PRF-file to put them back.
I used to have text from dictionary entries in red, but now I can only change the backgournd colour, not the font.
Does anyone know the answer, the manual doesn't help....

Thanks in advance!

Leon

Doesn't appear to be an option Feb 23, 2011

Hi Leon,

I only see the option of changing the background in my user settings. I would also prefer to have the dictionary terms in red as in Transit XV but I haven't seen an option to do this.

Cheers,
Jill

; DictFontColor default=0
DictFontColor=1

After that, choose your preferred color in User Preferences - Colours and fonts.

If you ask me that clearly is a bug!

Now if only I could remember what I hacked to override the (totally stupid) rule that Freelance Pro only allows three different dictionaries per project...
