Topic: Windows High Contrast Mode and text types

SVP does not currently support official Windows High Contrast themes.
It is easy to fix though, just make sure your fonts obey system themes.

I need this to change SVP's settings. Switching to the "brighter than the sun yellow" theme that is default with Windows 8.1 is extremely painful. I literally cannot keep my eyes open while looking at it even with sunglasses on. It gives me a massive headache and makes my eyes hurt in just a few seconds. It's really an accessibility issue really.

cool lol

Re: Windows High Contrast Mode and text types

Thank you!!!!  big_smile

I couldn't use the white mode because that's my problem, hurts really bad to look at.
This is great, now I don't have to guess what I'm changing anymore and squint really hard to see.

Thank you again. Made my day!  big_smile

Re: Windows High Contrast Mode and text types

Dang, I should have posted about this years ago because I also use a high-contrast theme in Windows.  Thanks a bunch!
