Hi, I have a request for the next update of AM. This feature may already be slated for the AM release or maybe its already in the current version. Is it possible to change the background color in all of the modules to a different color other than black. A nice grey would be easier on the eyes. This is just a minor request. Most other packages use a grey or give the ability to change the background color. Thanks EMK

We use black because it's the easiest to see the spline colors on… for instance, it would be difficult to see white on a grey background and white is important because it means the spline is deselected… If we had a preferences menu for the background, we'd also have to have one for the spline colors, etc, etc. We could spend all of our time programming preferences, but we'd rather do features….

Steve, I agree that a set of new features would be more desirable than a visual perk, but on the other hand: I think you will find that a color preference, is a trivial task to implement in the Windows and Mac environment. Never the less I'm sure if you guys reach a lull in development, you'll consider it… Thanks EMK
