    I was messing with my crackberry (curve) the other day and I came across a setting that said like "background of messages" and you picked a color.
    and I changed it to see what it was

    then I got a phone call, an e-mail, an Im, a whatever .. got busy and then when I looked at my phone the background of e-mails and texts are like striped.

    I cannot for the LIFE of me remember where I changed this setting.

    Please help. It makes me sick to my tummy to read e-mails now .. with the scrolling and the horrible colors.

    Please and THANK YOU!

    Yeah...for some reason alot of the bb 8830 for Verizon love to be striped when u first get them...my company got over 100 of them and at least 75% were striped and I had to guess on how to change them...it isnt too bad but it can get annoying...

    Jeff I think it may be a BES setting. I have a swap that my carrier sent me that I never set up and I checked that one and it wasnt there, but on the unit I am currently using it is there and I'm on BES.

    I believe the Enterprise corresponds to BES and Others to non-BES.

    You are absolutely correct however I believe that it appears after you have set up BES as a way to distinguish between BES messages and BIS messages as they all go to the messages inbox. I may be wrong however like I said on my other unit that isn't set up on BES this option does not exist.

    I believe you're right. So you and I are in complete agreement with each other, but have we answered the OP's question?

    Yes we are. LOL that is a good question. I guess that all depends on if she is running BES. If she is then she should have the option in security options.

    There you go thats why you didnt have it. You honestly wouldn't want it as it makes your message screen look like a candy cane. They are diagonal lines that alternate between the colour you choose and white and you literally get dizzy scrolling and reading an email. On 4.5 it is much better because it just outlines the the message. Much easier on the eyes.
