FrameMaker 10 Interface/Accessibility questions

[Harding, Daniel B]

I suspect I'm out of luck on these, but it doesn't hurt to ask:

FrameMaker 10.0.1.1402
Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit


1.       When I am reconciling index entries, I keep all the individual book files open in separate undocked windows, which keeps them from opening in the primary workspace as I edit a zillion index markers. With 10-20 windows open, it becomes difficult to know which window is the currently active chapter (sometimes I need to open that window a bit larger to check context of a marker) because there is ZERO color difference between active and inactive windows. I have not found any way to make the active file window stand out from all the others. This appears to be a Framemaker issue rather than Windows, as all Aero effects are disabled on windows generated within FrameMaker


2.       I need the i-frame text position indicator (cursor) within the document (not the hovering cursor that moves as you move your mouse) to be more prominent on the screen. I frequently lose track of where I am, and have to either hit up and down arrows to see where the text indicator is moving. Ideally there would be a way to set the color, thickness, and blink frequency for it, for no other reason than aiding accessibility.

Thanks in advance.
