No need for thanks, the review was objective and unbiased as far as it could be.

In your review you mentioned that you can change the color schema, were is that done at? Also you mentioned that you can open multiple databases in one view, how is that done? Or did I miss understand something?

I don't think I said you can change the colour scheme, just the theme. I have not found a way to change the background colours of the panes.

However having said that you can change the theme. There are sixteen to choose from, they are in Tools|Customize then select Options and there is a drop down list called 'Paint theme' then select a theme and press close. 'Office 2010 Black' is the best of the bunch in my opinion but 'Visual Studio 2010' is also pretty good.

Choose the one you think is good.

Did this answer your question?

Change the Window color in the Windows display settings.

I have not yet found any way to set window background colours in Windows 7. I could easily set them in Windows XP but since Windows 7 I have not had the ability to set many of the things I had control over in Windows XP.

I suspect Windows 8 would be even more dire and hide even more settings from the user than Windows 7, after all Microsoft knows best.

How could Microsoft be so stupid as to have a mobile phone interface as the front end for Windows 8?

thanks, I found the setting for theme, how about opening all your database in one view, how is that done?

And, yes, it's even more hidden in Windows 8.
