Can I change the background colors?

Sure. You can select any color for the background of the Family View and Pedigree View. You can even choose a background pattern from a supplied list or display any bitmap file. To change the background, right click on the background of either the Family View or Pedigree View and choose Change Background Color/Pattern. The Background Colors and Patterns window appears. Choose the color or pattern by clicking on it. If you want to select a different color or pattern that is not displayed, press the Set button below the color or pattern section.
