How to change the Notation Window background color? T'was easily possible with prior versions of BiaB, alas now it's not . . .

Good point, Martin. I did try to find the method but was unable. I wonder if anybody else can identify the process to achieve this?

I tried to find it but was unable to.

Also, why do we have the Display button and the Colors button doing the exact same thing, bringing up the Display Options window.

Do we really need 2 buttons achieving the same exact results?

I can see the problem.

In BIAB 2021 Build 814, when you click on the Display Button, it brings up the Display Options

When click on the Colors Button, it brings up the Color Selection menu.

From the Colors Selection menu, you can change the Notation colors

Beginning with Build 815 and up to the current build of 833, when you click on the Display button, it brings up the Display Options BUT when you click on the Colors Button, it also brings up the Display Options and NOT the Color Selection menu as it did in build 814.

The Color Options button gives you the choices you need to change the Notation Colors and the Display Options window does not.

Send it back to the developers and see if they can make clicking on the Colors Button bring up the Colors Selection menu again as it did in Build 814.

If you absolutely have to change your colors, you can try the following. It worked for me.

Go back to build 814 and run either BBW.EXE or BBW64.EXE to start the program.

Change your colors in the preferences.

Close the program.

Go back to build 833.

When I did that the colors stayed changed after going back up to the current build.

Again, if you absolutely have to do that.

Or you can wait to see what the developers say.

Good diagnosis, jcland. It seems that the Colors button of BiaB 2021(833) or so simply points to the wrong dialog - looks like an easy fix . . .

Hi all, I asked about this issue before and was told that the development team are rolling the Colors button settings into the Display button. As far as I know, they should be releasing a patch that corrects the issue at some point.

The 4 active color choices from the old dialog are now in the Display Options dialog for build 835 (available soon).
