Can't read red on black. Any way to change?

PostThu Jan 26, 2023 3:03 pm

I can't read red text printed on black background, so can't read some Hauptwerk settings such as volume level on the audio performance large floating menu.

Is there anyway to change these color(s)? Running PC with Windows 11. Tried Settings Personalization Colors changes but wasn't able to affect those spots.

(I think this is called protanopia and affects 8% of men and very few women according to Dr. Google.)

Thanks for any ideas!

Hello Barry,

To change the colours of the you can either:

- Select "View | Control panel data display colors | ..." via the main menu, or:

- Right-click on one of the relevant values and select the equivalent sub-menu.

Personally, I find the black-on-white option the clearest.
Best regards, Martin.
