I saw **Mangetout’s** advice to use this sparingly in the thread where he invited us to download the program, and I plan to do just that. I understand about bandwidth usage, and apologize if I caused annoyance. I was just having a bit of a lark with the colors.🙂

Thanks

I saw your smilie, **Thunder**. No worries, I wasn’t offended. I was just thinking that those color posts of mine _could_ become annoying if I kept it up. I’ll just use them for special occasions. 😃

Thanks

Actually, I did the former rainbow thing by hand – I didn’t even know that **Mangetout** had come up with an app that did it for you. As for how long it took – using a combination of drop-down boxes and hand coding, just over 15 minutes. It took longer to perfect the spacing than the colors.
