FrameMaker 9 Welcome Screen

[RJ Jacquez]

Hi Susan, so many things to do, so little time :)

I'm working on this session and also one on working with Frame9 and RoboHelp 8 together in TCS2, which is also urgent, so I'm on it.

BTW, yesterday I incorrectly posted a way to return a DITAmap to a Book view and I said that it could be done by selecting Window > Composite Documents, but the correct answer is to select the View > Resource Manager... menu, sorry about that.

I will definitely add your UI Colors recommendation to our list of features for consideration.

Sincerely,

Hi RJ,

That's funny.  I was going to mention that the gray interface is rather dull.  I have the brightness cranked up for visibility, but perhaps the team would consider the option to customize the UI colors (Interleaf used to offer this).  For those of us whose eyesight is becoming more erratic with age, the ability to adjust UI fonts and colors becomes more and more important.

Thanks for your reply.  I look forward to the e-learning sessions you mentioned in yesterday's post.
