Title: Can't Read Dialog Boxes on Mouse Hover
Post by: Afrosheen on May 08, 2005, 08:11:52 pm

I believe the windows skin I have on my pc only made the dialog boxes within MC difficult to read.  I could barely make out the words because of the close colors between the background and the text.  I unchecked the option in MC to disable shell integration yet I still can't get the text to show up.  I'm wondering if there's a manual way of changing the color of the font or background of MC's dialogue boxes so I could read them again without altering my windows skin. Thanks!

I'm using MC 11 beta 261.  It doesn't matter which MC sking I use, when I hover the mouse over any toolbar button, the text is too faded for me to see, like this pic here shows at the bottom of the MC window:

Alot of skins have this problem.
Especially Thunderstorm WB skin and Thunderstorm MC.

I brought this up some time ago and I guess I forgot about it. It would be nice if we could customize the tooptip and the colors.

I must be blind.  Could you explain what doesn't look correct?

Thanks.

No worries, 'cause that's the problem, it's hard to see.

it's the small box at the bottom of the mc window, where the mouse is hovering over the toolbar specifically over the 'copy listening to' button.  The text for these dialogue boxes are too faded to make out, and I have to look closer to make sure that I'm clicking the right button on the toolbar. 

edit: I put a big red box around it to help find it.

Thanks.  We'll use skin colors for the tooltips in the next build.

Will that also include the mouse overs for the track names?
