    Hi,

    In the help listings and other places as well there is yellow text that is really hard to read.

    Any way to change that?

    Yellow text against grey background. Bleah. I don't like that
    either.

    Any way to change that?

    Try Config/Display/Color/Help.

    This is interesting because before I calibrated my monitor a few days ago, I'd *always* had the default yellow on grey and it had *always* looked
    just fine. However, now it doesn't and I have to agree that it *is* quite hard to read :(

    Any way to change that?

    Try Config/Display/Color/Help.

    Yep, I've changed mine to red on grey and that looks *much* better.

    That *is* a good choice! I did that here myself.

    It's very nice for the help but I tried changing it from yellow to red on
    a few other bits 'n bobs but it doesn't look right, particularly the big "Send" dialogue. I'll have to play some more ;)

    ..UPDATE: I didn't realize that I had to scroll DOWN the
    selection menu to activate SAVE OK following the changes!
    Imagine my surprise navigating the entire color settings,
    making adjustments, all were for naught the next time I loaded
    OXP!
