All,
I have a view in which the row background color changes depending on a due date. If a request is due, the background color is red and the text color white. The definition is 239:37:37:255:255:255.
Strangely enough on some clients the row background color is some light grey instead of red.
Does anybody have a clue what might be the reason for that? Is there a setting in the OS that could possibly cause that or similar?
Thanks very much in advance for your help!
Regards,
Anne
Subject: re: Row color red is displayed as grey on some clients
I suppose the user’s display properties could be set to a limited color palette. This would generally be noticeable in other contexts than just the view row color, however.
You didn’t show the actual column formula. Since you’re testing whether the document is “due”, it may be that the formula evaluates differently based on the date formatting preferences of the server they use, or if these are local replicas, of their workstation.
NOTE: date-based formulas are not automatically affected by date formatting settings. But if the formula is badly written, it may be converting dates to or from text form and assuming something about this conversion, e.g. that the month comes first.
