Hi,

In the help listings and other places as well there is yellow text that is really hard to read.

Any way to change that?

Yellow text against grey background. Bleah. I don't like that
either.

Try Config/Display/Color/Help.

This is interesting because before I calibrated my monitor a few days ago, I'd *always* had the default yellow on grey and it had *always* looked
just fine. However, now it doesn't and I have to agree that it *is* quite hard to read :(

Any way to change that?

Try Config/Display/Color/Help.

Yep, I've changed mine to red on grey and that looks *much* better.

That *is* a good choice! I did that here myself.

It's very nice for the help but I tried changing it from yellow to red on
a few other bits 'n bobs but it doesn't look right, particularly the big "Send" dialogue. I'll have to play some more ;)

..UPDATE: I didn't realize that I had to scroll DOWN the
selection menu to activate SAVE OK following the changes!
Imagine my surprise navigating the entire color settings,
making adjustments, all were for naught the next time I loaded
OXP!

Yes.. but I hadn't been using the config/colours/display on a
regular basis.

BTW.. which config/colours/display setting is for [1] the part
that we see when an active poll is taking place? and for [2]
the part that we see after editing a message such as..

https://susepaste.org/73954631

I still get the default yellow-on-grey for those. Bleah.

Yeah well, I suppose it's a case of set 'em and forget 'em ;)

That would be "uucico Mailer" but mine's never on the screen long enough
to actually see it. The only times I ever used to see it was way back in
the PSTN days.

and for [2] the part that we see after editing a message such as..

https://susepaste.org/73954631

That would be "Dialog window".
