Description Unknown 2003-01-06 02:36:05 UTC 
The use of foreground color (including Black and White) in the user Help documentation 
apparently assumes that all Windows users use the standard Windows display scheme, or -- at least -- 
use white or light background colors.  Try looking at the Help files with a Windows Display Scheme 
of "High Contrast Black".  Most of the Help becomes invisible, since Black text (of the Help 
documentation) doesn't show up on the Black background (of the Display Scheme).  If it is thought 
necessary to specify the color of any font, then it is also necessay to define the bacground color 
on which that font will appear (and visa-versa), since whatever is not specified will default to 
the user's choice and possibly result in incompatible colors.  (In general, I think it best to 
default to the user's preference, since visual handicaps may have influenced those 
preferences.)

Changing to the Framework Project.  They should be able to take care
of this.

Frank, please comment on that.
Comment 3 frank.thomas.peters 2003-03-27 12:23:30 UTC 
There are a couple of aspects to this issue:

1. Since the help viewer displays HTML it behaves like a
browser window and therefore does not adjust coloring to system's
contrast settings. It behaves just like Internet Explorer in this
case.

2. 1.1Beta allows to switch the stylesheet that is used to 
display the help to high-contrast variants that are also provided.
The stylesheet can be switched in Tools - Options - General

3. The current 1.1Beta includes outdated help (see also #i10017#).
Therefore, the effect is not visible there. 

Item 3 will be corrected for Beta2.

Too late for beta2, re-targeted to 1.1 RC.
Comment 5 frank.thomas.peters 2003-05-19 11:46:31 UTC 
Issues 2+3 are fixed. 
Issue 1 is a conceptual issue and will not be fixed for 1.1
