Originally assigned to: @NickeManarin on GitHub.

That example starts without focus on ScreenToGif Editor windows i.e. clicked desktop area, label text is dark and easy to read on Menu Bar area.

As soon as you click into ScreenToGif Window, the labels go very pale and hard to read both on mouse over and normal text on Menu Bar Area.

Just to check, under Windows Settings > Personalization > Colors

Do you have the second option unchecked?

If so, as a workaround, go to ScreenToGif Option > Interface and uncheck the "Extend titlebar/chrome"

As a bug fix, I need to find the registry entry that defines that property (if > W10) and always display black as the foreground color of that text.

I have neither of those options enabled

Excellent that indeed does the trick :D

Ill have a look around and see if I find it and report back if I do.

In meanwhile thx for that tidbit.

Just to explain what's happening, the app looks for the current accent color in the registry, so if "Show colour on title bar" isn't checked, the app will still find the accent color.

It`s fixed now. Wait for the next release. Thanks for the feedback.
