uhm maybe my question was a little missleading - i admit that :)
i know this feature of changing the shade-color
what i wanted is to alter the color of the text itself
just to let the "greyed out" text stay in black (only not editable)
if i would change the shading, you are right, i could read the text much better, but i would have colored bars in my otherwise complete white form.
thx neway for your reply :)
