[Trainer-talk] Windows High Contrast Black

I apologize for a delayed reply.  Until you find the ultimate solution, you might try to create your own color scheme in windows and then use zoomtext which is what I use daily.

Subject: [Trainer-talk] Windows High Contrast Black

Trainers,

I have a student who uses the Windows High Contrast Windows Black setting on his computer.  There are a couple anomolies that I don't understand, and wonder if anyone can explain them.  He also uses ZoomText, and these problems don't show up if he uses the inverse with ZoomText instead of through Windows (which is the best answer to the questions.)  However, I will ask:

The first issue is using Gmail:  When in the high contrast settings, several of the buttons don't show up, such as Select, Refresh, Newer and Older.  If he hovers with a mouse, it will then pop up the name of the button.

The second, even weirder issue is when he opens a Word attachment:  The document shows up in the regular contrast, not in reverse contrast.  Of course, if he is using ZoomText in the inverse setting, this problem doesn't exist.

Thank you in advance for any explanations!

Jan Brandt
