I'm new to this thread but have read it.

All of the color schemes in /usr/share/jpilot display black on white but 
no color - they all display alike.  Is this because I'm running the KDE 
version of Kubuntu?

My Jpilot version 0.11.8 running on KUbuntu 6.0.6.

I have tried jpilot -d which indicates that my jpilot is using
/usr/share/jpilot/jpilotrc.green.
     rc file from prefs is jpilotrc.green
     parsing /usr/share/jpilot/jpilotrc.green

The other color files in /usr/share/jpilot are:

jpilotrc.blue
jpilotrc.green
jpilotrc.default
jpilotrc.purple
jpilotrc.default.orig
jpilotrc.steel

I also tried temporarily renaming ~/.jpilot.rc
and linking ~/.jpilot.rc to /usr/share/jpilot/jpilotrc.purple
and reloading jpilot but that also changed nothing.

Would someone please tell me the secret of getting color in jpilot?

I like Jpilot very much but a little color would help a lot.
Especially to make appointment days with entries stand out.
