Have you opened 8.1.6-rc-2?

Prior to 8.1.6-rc-2 the default set in the IDE (if it has not been 
previously set, or set when 'reset preferences' is clicked) is black.

In 8.1.6-rc-2 it changes the default to light grey - which is probably 
causing the distinction.

I suspect Panos has your answer (hopefully!) for why your prefs window 
is AWOL in all your versions...

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
