Light scheme buttons unreadable

[Anonymous]

My

Co-worker has this problem with his bottons on Autocad LT 2015. His buttons are unreadable, too light.

We both have same version of cad and both on windows 7.

Their video card doesn't play well with AutoCAD: go into their Windows Dsisplay drivers and see if you can adjust their white settings or change their LT2015's hardware acceleration settings.
They probably also need to turn off Win7's Aero Theme, no need to tax that poor video card any more that it is already suffering.

I don´t think it´s about videocard. If i open Autocad LT 2014 everething looks fine just like mine, but in 2015 all graphics in buttons that should be black are white. tried to take aero off and change the hardware acceleration setting on cad but nothing seems to help.

Hi,

Does it make any difference if you go to Windows Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Personalization > Basic and High Contrast Themes, and choose another theme to let the toolbar buttons have strong constrast?

Cheers,

Nothing changes. Tried to change aero off and on change trancparency settings and tryed high constract. 

Mayby it got something to do with screen resolution. I have very small screen as my co-workers have big screens?

Does your video card driver allow you to adjust the white "color"? Does your monitor have that ability?
What does the dark scheme look like on that monitor?

Just now seeing this post, but better late than never:

That's a bug that occurs whenever importing settings from 2014 → 2015 or 2015 → 2016 (and presumably 2014 → 2016).  I haven't seen any easy fix for it.  I believe you can fix it by doing a Reset from the Windows Start Menu, but you will lose all customization settings.  It will be like setting it up from scratch.

Just had this same issue when upgrading a member of staff from 15 to 16. We did a reset THEN migrated the settings and it worked fine.
