I'm not sure the link you provided is going to do what you need. As far as I know, once the Client Access session has *started* you cannot change the color palette because the application is already *alive* and running.

Have you considered creating a second desktop icon that points to a different workstation file...one that contains the color settings you want?

Another possibility might be to create a batch process using something like WinBatch that would determine the user-id of the person currently logged into the PC and based on this user-id it could launch Client Access pointing to a specific workstation file (.ws)
