Colour fo next cue to Go

It would be really good if you could set the colour for the next cue to go when you press Go, a bright red or something that stands out. At the moment it is a dull grey in the cue list and is the least obvious thing. A green cue (running) just above stands out much more than the next one to go. Unless there is already the option in the colours page, but I can't find it.

Thanks

I was initially a bit puzzled by your mention of "dull grey". The default colour scheme in SCS uses grey as the background for completed cues, not for a cue about to run. But the colour of the 'next cue to go' is not actually determined by SCS but by your Windows colour settings, since the row in the cue list table is 'selected'. To check or change this, go to your Windows Display Properties, click on Appearance and then on Advanced. In the drop-down list under Item choose Selected Items. The colour you have displayed there will (or should) be the colour used for the currently selected row in the cue list table, which is, by default, the 'next cue to go'. I presume you have this set to a dull grey. You can change this as required.

btw, the above info applies to Windows XP - I haven't checked the equivalent under Vista, but it would be similar.

That has solved it, thanks. I have set the selected colour item to red. This makes explorer a little uggly, but that is not too much of a bother as the computer is only used for running SCS. It might be nice, if possible, to make SCS dictate the colour for the selected cue so you can keep your windows colour scheme wth the standard colours.
