changing stripe color for inbox?
- i read some threads about changing the striped color on the inbox, but after following their instructions, i couldn't make the change. people suggested going through options -> security options -> general settings and there should be something about message background in there but there isn't... did they change this with the 4.5 os upgrade?01-28-09 10:06 PMLike 0
- Look in the same area Security settings -> General settings -> Message outline colours.
You should then be able to select a color you want.
Also try going into the mailbox itself, select menu -> options -> general settings -> seperator -> none, stripes, or lines.
Hope this helps

when you goto Security-> General -> do you see the following:
Password
number of attempts
security timeout
prompt on application install
_______________________________________
Lock Handheld upon holstering
Allow out going calls when locked
_______________________________________
Content compression
Content protection
strength
include address book
_______________________________________
Message Outline Colours
should have none in the select list
Select the none and a list of colors will open up: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
select what color you want.
Then when you open an email pertaining to your selection it will be out lined in that particular color... pretty cool actually.
msblueline01-28-09 11:12 PMLike 0 - thanks for the detailed outline but unfortunately it stops at "include address book". nothing about message outline colors. below the address book bit says services: "BBFS1 [gtalkna1](AES)
did verizon block it out?01-28-09 11:25 PMLike 0 - Its okay. I don't have that either. I have a T-Mobile Pearl 8120 with 4.3.
Anyone know where to find it on my pearl? Bc I'd love to fix it on my phone to be pretty.

I do have a BES, so... maybe, I don't know...
That would actually be a question for Blackberry, not Verizon, I think.

- I use TMobile but I've upgraded my OS to 4.5 and in my Security Options - General Settings after address book it has services and then just stops so I don't have that option either. I wonder if it's some other setting that you enable that brings up those extra options. Weird.01-29-09 12:50 AMLike 0
- OK, this is crazy.
I changed devices... again. I (originally, long time ago) had the Curve with AT&T. I then went to the Pearl with Cellular South (Oct or Nov 2008). I now changed back to the Curve with Cellular South (today, Mar 2009).
When I had the Pearl, the colors in the above mentioned thread were nothing but a background color. It actually looked pretty cool.
Now I have the Curve (again) there is no Back ground color. What there is, is this god awful stripes through the whole email... very anoying.
I went through my instructions as stated:
Menu -> Options -> Security Options -> General Settings
I scroll down about half way until I get to "Message Background Colours."
Everything is selected as "none".
How can I have these horrible lines through the email (making it almost impossible to read).
I guess, when I switched devices all the settings came with it.
BUT,
I performed a wipe on the Blackberry Pearl to delete the BES server settings off of it so I could add the BES to my Blackbery Curve.
I did not change any of the settings prior to the wipe. (I don't see how that could make a difference, a wipe clears everything out.)
All the settings are set to "none", yet I still have the colours in the email.
Is there a setting that I missed.
msblueline03-03-09 02:26 PMLike 0 - Nope. I have At&t and I don't have the option to change colors either. In security--options I do not have the option of separator. I do have it in messages--options--general settings, but no colors come up when I select NONE.03-03-09 11:39 PMLike 0

- I don't have those options to change the colours either mine stop at services so it isn't just you redsoxrocker. I am on Orange UK pay monthly. So maybe your service provider didn't disable it. I am guessing it probably is something to do with the OS upgrade to 4.5 as this is what I am using. If you do come up with a solution please let me know as I would also like to change the colour of my stripes Thanks, FobBerry03-04-09 07:53 AMLike 0
