How do I change the border color of a numeric indicator?

[Santa CruZin]

I just started using LabVIEW again after a several year hiatus (I used to use it a LOT).  With the paintbrush tool, should I not be able to right click a numeric indicator's border and select T for transparent to make the border disappear?  Fo the life of me, this isn't working and I'm stumped on something that should be rudimentary.   I can't get the indicator's border to change to anything beyond the complimentary colors to the numeric's background (which changes with no problem).  It's as if they're locked together.

I'm running v8.5.

HA! I figured it out.  Right click the paint tool on the indicator border, move the tool icon to the 'T' in the pop-up pallet, hit the spacebar to toggle from background to border, then click 'T'.

Hi Santa Cruz

Right click on the indicator's border with the paintbrush tool to bing up the colour palette. On the bottom left hand corner you will see a rectangular box that displays the current colour. If you select T the left hand side of the box will stay grey and the right hand side will display a T. What you want is the left hand side to display the T. If you press the spacebar twice to toggle the colour selection and and then select the T again you will find that the indicator's border will disappear.

Hope that helps
