Wendy, Jaws lies about colours. Dorothy and I have come across this black on black thing, whereas the colours aren't that at all.
Maybe you have to do something with the Jaws cursor.As to whether colours matter, again, this has been Dorothy's problem all the way through. Jaws will not accept white text on a black background... or it hasn't for a long time. (when I started, and still had some sight, this was the natural combination, and the early Jaws worked OK, but no longer.) I'm sure that with html, Jaws takes anything. Many of my web pages are this combination and Jaws'll read 'em, but not with text.

Pressing insert 5 tells you the foreground and background colours. At present it is saying black on white. I have noticed that a new program I have downloaded, Registry Easy, seems to have no menus, so I can't work it. The colours say black on black. I thought this might be the problem, but I have just been shopping with Tesco, and the colours say black on black on their site. I can work it very well. As I am totally blind I don't normally bother about foreground and background colours, but does it make a difference, and how can you alter them for a specific program? Also, if a program doesn't show its menus, no menu bar, just the list of what needs to be repaired, how do I get the menus to appear?
