Hi,
Is there any way to switch the background color of a document to black and text to white?
Or, alternatively, any kind of High Contrast option for reading files?
Many thanks,
SW

Hi standish-001,
Thanks for the post - You should be able to achieve what you want using File --> Preferences -- Accessibility and playing with the Override Document Colors option.
HTH!

Hi,
That WORKS!!!! Completely!
Leaves just one challenge: highlighting. Any way to configure highlighting so it becomes visible if using black background on white text?
Thanks!

Hello standish-001,
Highlight annotations are normally with a "Multiply" blend mode. This means that it will add the colour you selected on top of any underlying ones - and when your background is black already - the result is an invisible highlight.
You can try to change the blending mode to e.g. "Difference" - but this will look OK only on your machine and until you turn accessibility off. On another machine where someone does not have accessibility on - this highlight will look very strange.
So the 'trade off' could be to use a custom background colour (e.g. dark grey) - so that highlights still remain visible with the normal "Multiply" blend mode.
Regards,
Stefan
