How can I darken the print on my screen?

Hi,

I run Win 7 64bit on a computer with performance rating of 7.3.

The print which appears on my screen (a top spec Sony Monitor) is coloured light grey, and difficult to read, especially against the bright screen background. 

Will you please tell me how to get the print to be fully black.

I have tried the high contrast themes, but occassionally, when entering data the yellow lettering disappears into the background, and I cannot tell what i am doing.

Many thanks

Roy Mayo.

    Hi Doug,

    The user interface can only be changed using the available themes and settings when you on Start > Control Panel> Display. You may want to change the size of text and windows for you to be able to see the fonts better.

    Hope this helps and if you have other questions, don't hesitate to post back.

    Regards.

    Hello,

    Due to the age of this issue, it would be best to create a new thread for this in the following forum:

    Doing so will avoid any confusion between your issue and that of the original poster.

    Best regards,

    Kumar Dinesh, thank you for your response.

    I can follow everything you say, but, excuse ignorance -how do I create "hex color #a9dbf6".

    (I remember reading a joke somewhere which goes - There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who undeerstand hex numbers, and those who dont).
