Hi list, This is my first message on a new Windows 7 PC, and Iâ??m not sure how it will handle HTML versus plain text settings, so I hope this works. I discovered that thereâ??s a theme called high contrast black; itâ??s one of the themes that doesnâ??t use Aero with all its crazy visual effects. I was looking at the screen with this theme last night and found that the screen was quite readable. I suspect the text is white and I know that the background is black, so you need to use the inverse setting on the optacon. but itâ??s not too hard to find your way around; the icons on the desktop are quite apparent, although I canâ??t figure out if theyâ??re strange pictures or just strange-looking text. It was fun looking around, though. My apologies if this message doesnâ??t get sent in the proper format.
