There must be some way to give Marriage Tags (or any other tag) an accent
color to make them easy to identify. If you have a "Witness Tag" the
witness tag is accented. It would be nice to have standard accent colors
for some of the primary tags, eg., Birth, Death, Marriage. Don't know how
this would be done. It might be a programming issue. You would not want a
lot of accents as this would defeat the purpose of easy identification.

Vern Clark,





Can marriage tags be given an accent color to make them more noticeable?
