>Color schemes? If you change your windows color scheme (not a solution but check what happens) also may try the ugly Blue BackGround and White text:
>Tool|Options
>General
>Blue background, white text.

I tried both and the only change I saw when I change the Windows color scheme to various possibilities. But, in all case, I was still having a darkground. I was however capable of seeing the font color to white. It is still unsolved.
