Fix for Live Mail in High Contrast?

02. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , ,

I'm legally blind.  Running Win7 in High Contrast #1 theme helps make things more easily readable. 

 

When I use Windows Live Mail in this theme the tool bars, subject lines, mail text are white text on black, but the surrounding windows are some faint text color on white background, which is much harder to read.

 

 

Can I fix this somehow?

It would be really nice if Win7 allowed me to set colors for all GUI components when using Aero.   Older versions of Windows allowed for this.  Is Win8 any better at allowing the user to control colors?  I bought the upgrade but have such a hard time seeing I'm afraid the transition will be too difficult.

Thanks!
