Opinions sought: should I open source Auspex?

<< < (3/5) > >>

Jimdoria:
I tried running it as administrator, making my changes, exiting and re-running. That didn't work.
I tried Windows 7's Compatibility wizard, doing the same thing. Also didn't work.
Black on black always comes up when I run the program.

Is this stored in the registry somewhere? Couldn't find an entry for it under HKCU/Software...

timns:
Have a look in your local appdata folder, in Options.xml

(My path, e.g. is: C:\Users\Tim\AppData\Local\Auspex)

You should see 4 colour entries - see what they are, and you can probably replace them with the following to get something usable:

popuptextcolour="0"
popuptextselectedcolour="16777215"
popupbackgroundcolour="16777215"
popupbackgroundselectedcolour="9583041"

That's white popup with black text, but then the selected replacement is white text on purple-ish background

Jimdoria:
My file looks much like that, except that the color values are negative:

popuptextcolour="0"
popuptextselectedcolour="0"
popupbackgroundcolour="-16777192"
popupbackgroundselectedcolour="-16777214"

I'm using system colors from the dropdown when selecting my colors.
(Specifically "ActiveCaption" and "InfoBk".)

Funny thing is the black shows up even when the values in the Options file have not changed. I'm not seeing them get reset to "0" when I exit Auspex or re-open it.

Could it be reading the negative values and just seeing them as zero?

timns:
It sure could be. I just uploaded a new version  - please try 'er out and let me know.

Jimdoria:
Looks like that did the trick! Muchos gracias!
