I have Windows 8, and the background is very white. Since I am dyslexic, I find this hard.

One of the things that I could do was change the white background in the Personalisation options to a colour like yellow or pink to help. This has been removed in Windows 8.

I found and followed the registry hack for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Microsoft\ControlPanel\Colors\, but Windows for some reason keeps resetting it.

Is there a permanent solution for this, preferably with a GUI?

Here is an example picture in Outlook.

  • I don't know any GUI. We all submitted feedback since Developer Preview, but ignored the feedback :( You must use the registry or wait until someone create a GUI for you. Nov 29, 2012 at 11:36

  • My Windows 8 has no white backgrounds. Can you provide an example of where you're seeing this? It may need to be set in a couple places to achieve what you want. Nov 29, 2012 at 12:33
  • You mean that the registry hack gives the desired output but the problem is that it needs to be done after every restart ? If that is the case, there are ways to make the registry hack permanent. I would be better if you can provide some screenshots of desired and problematic GUI.

    Besides that, the site you pointed seems like it was put up in a second, by someone with limited English skills. After reading the author and your name it seems as if you were self-promoting your product. As Vignesh said, please elaborate. Sep 6, 2013 at 11:10
