Schematic (N) Name command causing white text on white background (using Theme: Light)

Didn't notice this as being an issue before.  Maybe this was introduced when the Dark theme was being worked on.

Using the Name (N) command when in Schematic theme "light" gives you the text for the label in white until you position it and click.   Then it turns it's usual grey.

 

Hard to position invisible things 🙂

 

Picture below of the white text while "positioning" the name over my fake net.

Hello @gwagnerJXG2J ,

 

I hope you're doing well. Check your layer colors it seems they may have some how been adjusted.

 

If you go to Preferences > Electronics > Color. You'll see the option to restore the default colors, just click the button.

 

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

 

Best Regards,

Thanks Jorge, 

It was my Highlight .... it was set to 80% and that made the text on Label or Net name placement basically unreadable.

 

Gave High Contrast a try .... yikes ... didn't realize that my choice of bright yellow would only apply to the Top layer, and all the rest of the layers would end up different based on the layer colour combined with yellow.   Cross-probing from schematic becomes a challenge.  Eg.  TP_DC5V is on 1-TOP (red), 15-SIG (Orange).  Easy to miss "highlighted" items.

 

Before cross-probing:

During cross-probe:

Be good if you could just pick a highlight colour and have it apply no matter the layer.

 

At any rate, think I'll go back to my 80% highlight where everything in a cross probe ends up a nice white-ish regardless of layer 🙂

That and switch to Dark Mode for schematic.

Have you tried changing the color of the net in the inspector? As shown in the image below.

Would this help you isolate particular signals?
