*Tyger_purr:   In Poser 7 if you right click over something in the scene it will bring up the menu where the first flyout/submenu is a list of everything "under" the cursor. 

I think it is the new feature i use most in P7

*Thanks, I'll have to look into that.   That sounds like something that Carrara has and, ungrateful wretch that I am, I have to admit that it drives me up the wall in Carrara.

Tomsde, a lot of good ideas.  I'm surprised about the problem with the interface.   There was a bug in Poser 6 that meant the Colour tool could be selected unintentionally, if you hit the Windows "Start" key, while in Poser.   Since I was changing the colour on a virtually daily basis. whether I wanted to or not, I eventually settled on something between blue and indigo and, if I start Poser 6 (I usually use Poser 7), that's the colour in which the interface is launched.  

That problem doesn't exist in Poser 7, at the current level, so I have just edited my desktop colour, to see if I get an intermittent automatic reversion to the factory default, which is what seems to be happening to your Poser.
