I tried it on XP and it wasn't working with any of the Vista skins. And I meant that within the window where you select the text to compare it would not highlight the current text that was just clicked on.

Hi,

So this is just a skin issue?
It has not been set to highlight the background, when selected.

I agree also that it can be tricky. How about adding a menu item to the drop-down button with the config options? (the one that has the "New search window...", "increase..." etc)

Hi Costas,

Is there just a way to make the drop down button more obvious - like put the word "options" on the button?
Or maybe make it brightly colored (& maybe with a special arrow on it) so that it can't be easily overlooked?
Just something to make it more noticeable, so that users will click there, even if only to see what's there.

Once they click there they will know what it's for.
The space there is limited; i agree that once someone finds out, it's easy.
I am not very happy with any of these to be honest; i will leave it as is for now until a better idea comes up,
Costas
Hi, just as a way to make the option more obvious and keep the theme of "sets", how would the existing sets icon look

Same for the Book search but use a maroon color.

I checked into this skin issue (I am the maker), and it appears that there is not a setting for this in the skin, as far as I am aware. I am running Vista and I experience the same thing that mathetes says. I don't have an explanation as to why royhieatt's works on Win7. On my machine, only the "pre-built" skins work correctly. These are skins that came with the library used by Costas.

Hi Adam, it is just that Roy did not understand the issue, and was thinking it was about markup in the Bible view, where as, it was just a skin setting set to clear and not a color.
