Accidental text background color change in browse window

[dlydick]

All,

I am thrilled to have this forum restarted and look forward to participating. I have a question for anyone generally.

I am now running BibleWorks 10 and have been very pleased. One day a while back, I accidentally hit a keyboard sequence involving the 'A' key and/or the 'S' key and/or the 'W' key plus the 'Control' key if memory serves, perhaps something else in there somewhere. After those accidental keystroke(s), the background of my browse window text in about 4/10 up to 9/10 of all English words (depending on the tab) turned a bright green color and the text for a similar number of words for WTT, NFT, and LPEH words turned a pink/purple color. NFM text turned a baby blue color. WTM, BHS and BGT citations seem unaffected. Sometimes 100% of all words on a verse are incorrectly colored. It happened to everything at once and I have never been able to reverse this change.

The background for the letters of the verse numbers and Bible versions in the browse windows have stayed white and have never have changed so this part is correct.

Does anyone know how to reverse this behavior and return the text backgrounds of all versions to a white color? I have not found anything helpful in the built-in BW help topics regarding colors.

Thanks for your help,

Daniel

Daniel,

I don't know if this will help, but I'd check the following:

1. your text comparison settings via Tools > Viewing the Text > Text Comparison Settings
2. your morphology colour settings via Tools > Options > General > Morphology Colors
3. Tools > Options > General > Miscellaneous > Other Versions > Background
4. View > Show/Hide > Difference Highlighting

John,

Item '4' was the answer. I experimented with option '1' with no luck and options '2' and '3' just did not seem to fit.

When I selected the option '4' item 'Difference Highlighting', BINGO! The accidental coloring disappeared across ALL tabs. Thanks for your help!

The key that you used while focus was on the Browse window was "e" which you can use to "Toggle highlighting of same-language text differences".

I would suggest that: Main Menu (top of BW window) Help / BibleWorks Help Contents / at the bottom of Frequently Used Links Shortcuts is very helpful.

Jim,

Thanks for the pointer. Yes, that shortcut must have been what I accidentally struct. Striking it again clears that display mode just like the other suggested fix. I appreciate it!

Somehow I have never used the 'Shortcuts' topic or at least not for a long time. I am going to experiment with the command line shortcut 'p', which I will find helpful in some situations.

Blessings,

DL
