Please consider voting on this enhancement. Multiple customers have complained about the new office theme.
Summary
Customers have complained after upgrading to SQL SE 2.99.01 since the new Office Theme has been introduced. The main complaint is that fields that cannot be edited, which always did have a grey background, now have a grey font too. The grey font is a darker than the grey background but the comments are "it is difficult to read" and "not as crisp". VFP still has black on grey backgrounds and I do agree is more legible. See attached examples
Business Impact
One company was concerned stating, "with this being in the realms of workstation comfort I’m concerned some people may complain under a health and safety banner." The other seemed perplexed as to why you would choose grey on grey.
Workaround
There is no workaround that I'm aware of and it's across the board on all forms in all modules.
VFP on the left and SQL SE on the right.
