Hello Donald and Community,

when i updated lately to 9.20.0102 (from 9.00.x) i noticed that the faw preview now refuses to use system colors.

I am visually impaired and use a standard high contrast windows color scheme ("High Contrast Black" or "Kontrast #1" in german windows) with black background and yellow (bright) font color.

Up to the 9.00 version the raw preview in the info panel used my system colors perfectly. I got yellow text on black background. Since at least 9.20.0102 i get black font on black background. As you can imagine, not very readable

The lines are there! I get a vertical scrollbar and i can click-mark each line, but nothing to see.

Am i missing a new configuration setting here or is this a bug? If its a bug, Donald, can you please fix that back to use system colors so that all users inclusive me are satisfied again? Would be veeeery appreciated.

BTW: Preview (left to RawView in Infopanel) shows me the text in system colors. But i often use RawView when i want a quick look into a file.

If you are just working on that topic, Donald. I have a wish too. Since ever in the faw vie the selection of a line is shown with white background (at least for me). I can't find an option to customize that also. Maybe can you make it that line highlighting in rawview will use the normal maybe "list highlighting background" color too? Not as vital as the a.m. problem for me, but would be nice to have.

Thank you very much for all your effort!

Hi JoTo,

I will check that (after the WC final). Sounds like a doable thing to me.

Hi Don,

thank you very much for your offer to handle this.

Have a great WC final time, even if our german team is already out of this. :/

The yellow text color was easy to do so I fixed it right now. Please check and tell me if it's okay now.

While fixing this I found (and fixed) a couple of other small bugs related to colors.

Unfortunately this cannot be done because I simply use color inversion to mark the selected lines. The way the Raw View is done it would be quite difficult to change this part.

But not too difficult for me! ...

Hi Donald,

Your DA MAN! You did it again!
SOLVED! BOTH SOLVED!
Even my not so important "highlight" wish works as expected now.

Welcome. I was not that hard after all.
