VoiceAttack Interface in High Contrast Theme
« on: May 15, 2016, 12:39:23 PM »
Using any of the stock Windows High Constrast themes will cause VoiceAttack's interface to be nearly unusable.

The interface colors are not properly adjusting to high contrast mode, making the buttons and text nearly invisible.

Sorry.  I don't have a workaround for that right now and I don't have anything in the pipeline other than there will be a, 'dark mode' at some point.  I will put that on the list of things to check into.  Probably won't be until after VoiceAttack goes to WPF, though.

A "dark mode" option isn't as important as a usable interface.

If you could make it so that the interface is unaffected by High Contrast mode and just retains the light-colored interface, that would be great.
It's extremely tedious and time consuming to switch windows themes every time I need to change settings in VoiceAttack.

High Contrast mode is a part of every windows system, so this issue is likely affecting many people.

Thanks for a great program.
