In Outlook 2003, the column that's being sorted is a light gray color. I
can't see it very well and would like to change the light gray to another
darker color. Where do you set that color?
 
there is no way to change it, other than by changing the windows color
schemes, which will affect more than just the sort column color.
 
Diane, Thank you for the response. I was thinking along those lines and did
the following:

Right clicked on the Desktop
Chose Properties
Chose Appearance
Chose Advanced
Looked at every color combination in the list of choices
(3D Objects -> Windows)
I did change the one for "Selected Items" to Yellow/Black
However, I couldn't find a combination for any of the choices that changed
the Sort column color in Outlook.

I googled everything I could think of trying to find what value sets the
color for the sort column, but no luck.

That's when I left the post in the MS Forum.

Any more ideas? Even if not - Thank You for the response. Barry
 
unfortunately, if none of the windows color settings help it, it can't be
done. I know from my experiments that not all of the colors can be changed
and some change to lighter or darker colors depending on some other color
setting. The colors can really screw up the readability of other windows so
it's not usually a good solution.

if you are using windows xp, I think you'd have a better chance if you use
the classic theme.
