drwho999 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I've recently upgraded to ver 2.0 (from 1.7.2) and I have a problem reading the text in the main list control. All the text appears to use the 'disabled' text color, which is very hard to read. This wasn't a problem in 1.7.2. I'll attach a screen-cap so you can see the difference. Is there anything I can do to make the text more readable?New version:Old version: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Win+R > desk.cpl > Appearance > AdvancedWhich items have the color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwho999 Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Application Background and Inactive Title Bar have that color. I tried changing both to something noticeably different - red, but it had no effect on the text, even after restating uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Win+R > regedit > HKCU\Control Panel\ColorsThere are keys that correspond to the relevant options... Are there any other keys that match the colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwho999 Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 The registry has these entries with that color:AppWorkSpaceButtonShadowGrayTextInactiveTitleI should also mention that while a torrent is active/downloading, the text appears 'normal', ie, it's black.

Ultima Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Oh. Are you using the scheduler? If so, then as of 2.0, µTorrent "grays" out the torrents that were stopped by the scheduler (among a few other situations). My guess is that the GrayText key is what defines the color...

drwho999 Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Yes, I am using the scheduler. But what can be done about this? I need to keep using the scheduler and I can't see a way to change the gray text color from desk.cpl, and indeed, I shouldn't have to change this system wide color setting which works as intended elsewhere but is not very helpful with uTorrent. Why was it changed in V2 and can it be changed back in a future release, or at least a preference option added to stop the current behavior?

drwho999 Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 So...I'm going to have to go back to the old version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
