    You cannot change the color of the Current Date line in the Gantt Chart of any PWA view.  This is true in either in Project Server 2007 or 2010. Sorry.  Hope this helps.

    HI,

    You cannot change the color of the fields in Project center views. 

    For the Project Center view you can only change the Grouping format of the data visible in the view. And that you can do from PWA -> Server settings -> Grouping Formats 

    However, you are free to do all sort of formatting of the data in any of your customized report, such as SSRS/SSAS etc. etc.

    Hope this helps.

    not sure which "line" you are referring to, better put screen shot.

    the only color you can change in Project Center view are the grouping format, which i have mentioned earlier. There is no OOB way, not in PS 2007 neither in PS2010, to change the color of the Date field in Project Center Views.

    Yup, there are certainly differences between the Web-based interface in PWA with the interface used in Microsoft Project 2007.  As you said, we live with it.
