Vista - How to change highlighted color . . .

Greetings again,

In the main view of WLM, the leftmost pane (the' folders pane'), one can
have one folder highlit.
The built-in color choice is a bit too subtle for my taste. Is there any way
to change the colors used within WLM?

Thanks all,

- Stan

Yes you can but only using the preset built-in ones.
Simply right click then select 'Change color' and pick a color you wish.

Using XP/Home SP3

Right Click what, if I right click the folder I don't see a "Change color"
option

The only Color Option I have is the color palette under the brush next to
the Views button, that allows me to choose a color for the title bar.

The folders panel is not effected by the settings in
Desktop->Properties->Appearance->Advanced, whereas the Message list and
Message body panels are effected by the settings in
Desktop->Properties->Appearance->Advanced.

It's called 'Set color.'

Noel,

Got it!

I was looking at newsgroups, on which Set Color is absent; rather than
"real" folders, as opposed to Quick Viewswhere the Set Color is also absent.

This sets the color of the icons for the folders in the account (storage
folders being an account in this context). It does not actually assist in
identifying which folder is current - simplest thing would be to use the
standard settings to highlight the current item as in the message list pane
and to provide option to show mail folder path in Title bars (hence a reply
compose window might have something like - "Storage Folders->Staff->Joe
Blow->Re : You're Fired" in the Title Bar)

Colin,
I don't know what you mean "Simply right click". Right click on what?
I have tried all the expected things, and I see now color option on the
right click menu.
Be a little more specific, how do I change the highlight color in the
folders pane?

Right-clicking on any folder name should give you a "Set color"
option. However, this only changes the color of the little icon
in front of that group of folder names. It does not change the
highlighting color, which I agree is way too subtle.
