Hi, this is maybe a petty thing, but how can I get rid of the horizontal lines in CafeTran windows (not the Background grid, smth. other)?

Screenshot? Feb 21, 2013

I don't know what you want to achieve, so can you please provide a screenshot?

You can customise just about everything in Edit | Appearance, and no, I don't think it's a "petty thing," given the fact that you'll have to look at it for much of your working day.

Cheers,

Hans

Background grid Feb 21, 2013

Hello Artem,

You can switch off the grid in the main window (see Edit | Appearance | Colors | Background grid). As for the other dialogs and option windows, the grid cannot be turned off. Your post is the first one to suggest turning it off in those windows so it will make me consider to add an option for it, as well.

Cheerio,
Igor

Well, I'm all for making things as pretty for the eye as possible, but this window is only visible for a few seconds, when you set up the project.

Cheers,

Hans

Thank you for the reply, Igor! Yes, that would be desirable, especially since some windows (like Options) don't have these lines anyway.

I would also suggest making a most plain and boring UI theme, corresponding to the normal look and feel of the classic XP-era Windows programs, without any additional bells and whistles. For some visually sensitive people it could contribute to a productivity boost.
