In Win 8 they tell you to use high contrast in accessibility but high contrast is what gives me double vision.
In Win 8 the only way I could find to change colors is by registry edit - see the end of this page http://www.askvg.com/how-to-access-a...-in-windows-8/ |
Sometimes Microsoft and others forget why things were done the way they were done. Another example was the replacement of shell column handlers in favour of shell property handlers, column handlers were relatively easy to implement, property handlers are... let's just say more difficult and less flexible.
Column handlers enabled a 3rd party programs (e.g. Tortoise SVN, Audioshell, Folder Size etc) to add columns to the windows shell, which could then be displayed in file managers like Windows Explorer, Xplorer2, Directory Opus etc, and any other program that browsed the file system.
