Hi,

sincerely I needed to switch to a black high-contrast-theme in Windows 7 and to a desktop zoom.

Sincerely mp3tag does not support a black high-contrast-mode (black window backgrounds and yellow window text).

Any chance for a fix?

The fix could be to do not use forcibly a white track list background color, and to use always on black high-contrast-mode the system color COLOR\_WINDOW!

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Martin

Remove the option in  
Tools\>Option\>General\>Show line numbers

On my pc I then get the black background with yellow text.

Thanks for your advice!

Yes - it works and Shows a bug in the Option not being prepared for high-contrast-mode.

No, I can work much better with mp3tag again!

Cheers,

Martin
