"It seems to take a long time to redraw embroideries when I choose different functions or switch to a new embroidery."
The refresh rate of the screen is limited by the power of your computer's processor and RAM as well as the video card and its memory. To get the best performance from your system, try using 2D view as this requires less power than 3D view.
"Some of the icons in the Toolbar are 'grayed out'."
Certain icons (for example Save and Export on the Quick Access Toolbar) are only highlighted once an embroidery is shown on the screen.
"I have changed grid color and spacing and now I wish to return to the original settings."
Use mySewnet™ Configure to change the grid color. Follow the instructions in mySewnet™ Configure and select Blue Gray (RGB values 102, 102, 153) from the standard color drop-down on the Grid Color button.
Use Screen Preferences to change the grid spacing. Set the Grid Size to 10.
"I have changed the screen background color and now I wish to return to the original light blue."
Use mySewnet™ Configure to change the background color. Follow the instructions in mySewnet™ Configure and select the RGB values 211, 233, 255 in the Colors dialog box.
