How to change DIAdem 2017 font color

[tyrhoads17]

I have a user who uses windows 10 OS with low contrast theme(Desktop & taskbar are black in color). When the user launches DIAdem 2017 64-bit application and clicks "File" or any other drop downs the text doesn't show do to the low contrast mode. Refer to Picture below for visual reference. My question is, how do you change DIAdem 2017 application font color so the user can select "File" and be able to view the text? Is this possible?

Thank you,

-Tyler

Hi Tyler,

There's no setting to make this work in DIAdem 2017 and prior versions.  The menu background color in DIAdem is inherited from the Windows theme, but the menu text is currently implemented with a constant value of "white".  In this instance, that leads to white text on a white background.  R&D has agreed to fix this issue for DIAdem 2018, due out later this year.  They did stress, though, that DIAdem is not officially tested with a wide range of possible Windows themes, and that there are other places in DIAdem where this same sort of problem might appear, even after the menu fix is implemented.  So this is not a recommended combination because we don't test it.  We will see what we can do as problems are reported, though.
