yes backgroundColour worked. any need to have a certain mobile phone theme. if you explain this, many of users claims and objectives would be resolved. thanks very much. but there is a problem else, my nokia 7310 runs my dictionary (with large language 2 entries very well) but some other models like, Nokia x2 and Nokia C600, run language 2 information with coloured display as incomplete (only a few initial text lines). are there any characteristics like backgroud colour that you have not explained before? please explain all capabilities of Properties at How Set up A new Dictionary. thanks.
