Scott,
Thanks for the speedy reply. I know a little perl but am not overly familiar with SME events, actions, tempates, and db files. None the less i have successfully edited the part inside the grey box! I cannot find any where in the file you mentioned that holds the data for the background colour (blue). Do you know if this is part of /sbin/e-smith/console or is it in a different file.
Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
