Problem with white on black windows themes
« on: August 11, 2006, 10:16 AM »
This program does not appear to work correctly with white on black windows themes (such as the high contrast theme). It changes the text color to white, but does not change the background color to black.



The problem occurs with all built in skins and "no skin".

Sorry, cant follow your bug report and cant reproduce this behaviour here.

I use Kontrast#1 Theme all the time and have problems with maaaany programs in the way you mentioned. But not with FARR. All works great here and is very readable.

See my screenshots:

Cant think why it wont work at your pc. Maybe mouser have an idea.
