WINDOWS

The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Project for Windows, versions 1.0, 3.0, 3.0a, 4.0

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project for Windows, the toolbar, buttons, and Microsoft Project-controlled dialog boxes may not automatically reflect color changes you make in Windows Control Panel.

CAUSE

When Microsoft Project is running, if you use Windows Control Panel to change the color of any screen element, Microsoft Project will not automatically reflect these changes in the toolbar, buttons, or in any Microsoft Project-generated dialog boxes. These colors are not automatically updated because Microsoft Project does not redraw the screen to reflect these changes.

NOTE: The new colors WILL be immediately visible in Windows System-drawn screen elements, such as scroll bars and common dialog boxes.

RESOLUTION

To display the toolbar, buttons, and Microsoft Project-generated dialog boxes in the new colors, close and restart Microsoft Project.

MORE INFORMATION

The color of the toolbar and buttons in Microsoft Project are controlled by the screen elements for Button Face, Button Text, Button Shadow, and Button Highlight in the Color setting in Control Panel.
