830 - Accessibility Issue: Part of UI Unreadable

#1 Post by Free4all » 03.10.2020, 21:44

FC 830 64-bit on Win7 64-bit

I am setting up FC for a friend with a vision disability on a Win7 64-bit box.

To be able to see his screen, he uses Win7's built in accessibility functionality and chooses the "High Contrast Black" theme (in the 'Personalization' control panel and also available via the 'Ease of Access Center' control panel).

Besides FC, other applications work well. But a few parts of FC are unfortunately nearly impossible to use. For example, the 'Search files/folders' UI becomes unintelligible. Screenshot attached using the default FC profile. Searching these forums, I see there have been requests to make that part of the UI themeable, which would also likely resolve this important accessibility issue.

Note that this particular part of the FC UI seems to be using the font for icons, as the user has defined in Windows, which is atypical, to my knowledge.

Also, while generating the screenshot for you, I noticed the screenshot UI needs accessibility work as well.

Thank you for your help.

I can confirm this. I reported this issue for the settings dialog. I also use a modified high-contrast theme.
In version 828 it displayed correctly.

Thank you for your confirmation and reports. Also very helpful to know it worked in 828.
