Unable to control font color since dark mode was introduced

Vault has now got a dark mode which is great as it looks more inline with how AutoCAD and Inventor Dark mode look but there is a little issue with color choice.

When you have a file checked out the default color is Bold Dark Blue, and Dark Blue on Dark Grey on some screens makes it difficult to read easily, I was wanting to change the "CheckedOutByUser" color to Gold as this would probably look easier on the eyes. There is an old post which shows describes how this can be done.

Now if I edit the config file the only mode that honors these "Color" settings is "Classic". Dark and Light "Themes" seem to ignore it, is there another file I need to edit to get the font colors to change?

The really strange thing to me is that Vault follows all the other options like "BoltText" and "Strikeout", it is just the Color value that get ignored.

Hi Senthil,
This color setting for checked-out files are not consistent throughout the Vault (different colors in different Windows).

Is there a way to have the same colors everywhere?

In my sample image, you can see that:
- I have a set the color to golden in my main grids (changed the value in the Connectivity.VaultPro.exe.config file)

- I have a dark blue color in the "Change State" window (hardly readable) same in "Change revision" window.

- I have a light blue color in the "Get" window

- I have a bright red color in the "Change category" window
