Hi, have been trying to change the colour font on the toolbar from green to something which is easier
(for me at least) to see. I am talking about the area taking in the SONG TITLE/STYLE/BPM/KEY etc.
I presume that option is somewhere in the preferences menu. I have found the sizes can be changed but green is mean on the eyes.
Appreciate any assistance
Cheers

Appreciate your reply but I cannot find in the drop down menu anywhere to change the colour of the text for example....... in the song title/style name.

Well...
Look at the image I provided...
1)Go to Preferences click Display

2) The box above the color picker (where I pointed second orange arrow - on the right) is a "drop down" menu.

Items you are looking for are in that drop-down, along with other things that you can customize colors for.

Yes I have also tried to change the colors of the GUI using this dropdown list. Very time consuming one has to try to identify the name for each item in the gui and then change the color for it. Some items are easy to find other are very time consuming to find beacuse of the inconsistency in the naming of the items, especially the text of the various items in the top row eg the area taking in the SONG TITLE/STYLE/BPM/KEY etc. Problem is that other items in the gui with text parts often are named with "text" or similar but för the top row items they are named "readout xxxx" eg "readout song name", "read out style name" etc. And one has to pick them one by one.

I also wanted to get rid of the "green color" it is very hard to read. I have now managed to change the colors of all items in the top row except for the up/down arrow beside the BPM it is still green but I leave it as is.

I don't know how much time I have spent in the past trying to change the color of the gui. One has to pick and configure one item at a time and starting the process all over every time with open the preferences, open the display options, select the drop down list, try to identify the correct item from the namings, try if it worked, then retry or do the next item .... Why not just display the colors beside the names in the dropdown list. The good thing is that it is possible to configure the colors of the gui.

Look for "Caption" and "Readout" - see attached image. If we added the word 'text' would make it easier to find. The tempo spin controls currently cannot be changed.
Note: Click [Save Scheme] once you have set your colors, so that you have a backup.

Thank-you all, I’m glad I’m not the only one that has trouble identifying the scroll of drop-down options. Will persist with list and see what comes up.
Cheers.
