In typical fashion for me, I tried to so something I thought would take 30 seconds but ended up bogged down in confusion about the InfoQube color system.  I thought I understood it but I guess not.

 

I wanted to change the selected item background color (Tools>Options>Grids>Selected items back color).  I'll summarize the problems I ran into.

 

#1  I don't understand the color codes I'm seeing.  InfoQube uses VB Hex, which consists of 8 numbers/letters.  The code for bright red is &h0000FF but InfoQube won't let me enter this code.  Instead it insists on showing a code consisting of 11 numbers:  &H000000FF&.  The color box next to the code shows bright red but when I return to the grid, the color is salmon, not bright red.  I tried using the selection box next to the code.  In every case, the color shown in the  box next to the code number does not match the color I see when I return to the grids (they're always much paler).  I've used this option before and had no problem.  Now, nothing makes sense.

 

#2 Selection back color is not working consistently.  In one grid, the selection color is salmon.  If I go to another grid, it's pale green.The selected item back color should be the same for all grids, no?
