Anyone else getting this?

Yes, I am - just upgraded production server. Don't suppose you know what the fix is without me recreating all my users do you?

Since the SIMS workstations are mostly running W2K Pro, the colour scheme also looks like complete arse (_really_ bright white background), Capita consider this a "feature".

Seems like this affects you if your system is updated but the clients don't yet have the update - v7.84

My problem was exactly this, and those clients with the fault were ok once updated.

A solution much banded about on the Capita forums:- TOOLS, Academic Structure, Apply timetable.

There are other solutions on the Capita site - check those out before you do anything drastic!

That link is hillarious! I don't like the faded menus at all - plays havoc with a poor vnc connection.

"SIMS .net Architecture 8
SIMS .net now uses your Windows Interface
Windows Classic theme will cause the screen to appear like this
Using XP Themes will overcome this"

Riiiight - like it's any better in baby blue! lol
