So the "default label text color" is actually set here: Configuration | Colors and Styles | Colors | Text. Should it "overwrite" the color you see in Configuration | Information | Tags | Customize up to 31 Label captions and colors? Well, there is the current bug which I just have fixed: In the next version you will see the correct color in that Labels list, so you will see what you get (WYSIWYG). So nothing is "overwritten", it's just used as it's meant to be used.
Perfect, that makes sense, thanks for the explanation.

But again, may I suggest this: you have offered those "default" label background colors, right? But in fact they're explicit, and they must work with a dark text color.

OK I know by definition they're not "default" (or "missing"), so let's call them "factory set", or "preset"? My point is, what if you also have the label text color also preset to explicitly black as well? Ideally, the factory-set label colors shouldn't be "broken" by users changing the list color theme, right? Just like the factory-set color filters, they have both explicit background and foreground colors, and that's how they stay unaffected after I did this "unusual" thing... What do you think?

PS: But changing this would be a major effort. Currently no time for it. Later...

Oh great! I was afraid that this rather long discussion was overkill for such a minute/isolated/trivial issue, so I'm glad that you get more out of it! (But honestly it's been fun! thanks to your truly caring for what you craft, Don.)
