[GUI] Control of Basic Text Colors Used in GUI |
|
With my color scheme, the text in the report window is virtually unreadable unless I select it all with CTRL-A. Please allow at least the basic colors used for text to be changed.
More background:
Besides the fact that my wife is visually impaired, I've long hated the Winbloz GUI's insistence upon dark text on white/light backgrounds. Ergonomics experts have long expounded upon how bad this is for the user's eyes (there is a reason the long-since dead green and amber monochrome monitors had light text on a dark background by default even though many had the ability to reverse this). Since, as usual, Micro$uck has imposed their will upon the world without any care whatsoever for the users forced to use their crap, there is no reliable way to to change the color scheme and have all programs work with it properly.
On my long lost beloved Amiga - which predates Winbloz - there were specific "pens" for particular purposes such as these so all programs could be written to use the colors the user specified and appear correctly. Since M$ couldn't be bothered with putting in that kind of forethought (even to this day, it seems), I have to use an odd compromise color scheme that is darker than standard, but still follows the basic "dark text on lighter background" impediment... er... "standard." Programs such as CDCheck which use custom colors, however, sometimes still don't read well under this arrangement.
With my current color scheme, the report window comes out as orange text on a middle grey background - absolutely horrendous. Please allow the colors used to be adjusted. Thanks!
