High contrast/dark theme for windows 7 that works in 2018
Hello,
Due to my medical issues. I am not able to work on the computer with the usual default themes. I have found the high contrast theme that comes along with Windows 7 to be very useful, but there are several software that will not work very well with that theme because some of the controls are not visible.
A dark theme will probably also worked for me but I have been unable to find any dark theme in 2018, from any of the different websites that actually work. Most of the links are broken. And the few that I could find, only change the border of windows.
The native high contrast theme that are available with Windows, change the entire background of a window. For example, if I use the notepad application with the high contrast theme, it will change the background of the notepad application to black and the foreground to white. The highlight colour when the line is selected will be red.
I also searched this forum for the links for dark theme. But none of them are valid anymore. Can anyone please suggest any dark even a high contrast theme. Alternatively, is there a way that when I apply a native high contrast theme on Windows 7, I am able to customise the colours for Microsoft Outlook 2010. It seems that when a native high contrast theme is applied, then color customisation for any application of Microsoft office cannot be done.
Thanks for any inputs
