Hi ,
Is this a bug ?
Win 10
LC 9.6.8 Standalone
Black Text.
Background as stack colour but needs to set to white as text cannot be seen.
Buttons black text on grey - a bit naff.
LC 9.6.9 Standalone
White Text.
Background as stack colour - okay except for white as text is white.
Buttons white text on grey - no good.
LC 9.6.8 / 9.6.9
Always black text on white/grey regardless of stack colours?
Is there a fundamental problem with ask/answer dialog on Windows ? Would expect this to work and why changing across versions ?
Regards
Camm
