Hi! I use windows 10 pro, my PB theme "bleu petrole" (see recent post), and a windows dark theme with high-contrast.
Cool combination.
The PB editor (6.02 LTS) is fine at first launch.
After restarting windows some problems appear:
  • The opened files tabs appear black on black, can't read the names anymore, although the tab is correctly white on black when creating a new file, until you type the first character.
  • The "live hint" at the bottom is only readable when the cursor is outside the function's brackets. I guess it's black on black otherwise.
However, the side panel's (procedures/variables/explorer/etc) tabs are ok, white on black.

Some years ago I had the same trouble with the "live hint" on winXP when using a personal dark theme.

The manual looks good in the high-contrast mode, with a minor bug: when searching for a word, the search works but the occurrences are not highlighted, although text selection by mouse still highlights the selection in teal blue.
Thanks and good luck.
