[JAWSLite] Re: color setting in display settings.

Hi Jacob:
Yes I would like for you to send me that please, would be good to have in 
my collection of documents and hints.  Much appreciated. <smile>
Apparently with all the upgrades the changes you need to make are not as 
restricting now.
Checkout ( How do I set up Windows XP for optimal use with JAWS 4.5? Note: 
The recommended settings changes are not typically necessary for more 
recent versions of JAWS, such as 6.x and 7.x etc.)

Also; the Below is from the JAWS Version 8, 0, 2173, 2  help files:
Windows XP and JAWS

Beginning with JAWS 7.10, it is not necessary to change Windows XP's 
display properties to Classic view. JAWS is compatible with either the 
default XP view

or the Windows Classic view. However, when navigating lists with the 
keyboard, there are slight advantages to using the Classic view.

This topic describes changes that you can make to make navigation easier. 
These changes are entirely optional and not necessary to enhance JAWS' 
performance.

You must be logged in with administrative rights to make several of these 
changes.

The following procedures show three different ways to change specific areas 
of Windows to the Classic view.

According to FS support, they prefer Windows Classic.

I actually have a display theme that I've saved after setting all the
display settings that they 'recommended' to me that I can send you if you
want.
