Not necessary . Gone. Don't worry about it. I can't even find a way to

That's  possible. mine seems to work. don't go by me on this one.
There quite a number of different prefs panels depending on what's

There is all the stuff in syystem prefs, and regular prefs and view

is gone you can make each window a different color.
