I have just upgraded from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail. The color of the list in the inbox (and all other folders) is so light that it can barely be read. The paintbrush offers 12 pastel colors, And More Colors. The More colors does not work. I have tried the Appearance change for 3d objects and it does not solve the problem but changes the entire Windows color scheme.1 person needs an answerI do too
