High contrast stuck on 2012 R2

Hi, after reboot the high contrast is on and can´t be turned off, i can change between the different high contrast themes but not turn it off. I have tried the workaround that work on 8.1 but that is not an option on server 2012 because the theme options
is diabled.
Any one?

Hi,
You will need to go to the Control Panel and change your theme.
Please check the similar thread:

Hope this helps.

IM - Recipient sometimes sees black block instead of text when I use Windows 7 High Contrast theme

I use Lync client 2010 on 64 bit Windows 7. I like to use the Windows High Contrast Black theme. In Lync this sometimes causes an issue in that the person who I am sending messages to sees some of my messages as a black block/bar in their client (perhaps
it could be black text on black background). In my client the message looks ok. Any ideas as to what I can do to resolve this would be appreciated as it is an inconvenience to have to switch to a non-high contrast theme every time I am having an IM conversation
with someone.
Sincerely,
Daws

Hi,
You can try to the following steps:
Update Windows 7 and Lync 2010 client to the latest version.
Try to use Lync 2013 client to have a test.
If the issue persists, you can feedback on the link below:

How can I turn on the high contrast theme without the Windows Desktop being set to high contrast?

Firefox 4.0 broke one of the best accessability addons that existed, AnyColor. Now I'm stuck with the closest I can get to it, a non-customizable theme which gets some things right but other things wrong.
Naturally, I'd like to make my browsing as comfortable as possible to my low-vision eyes. I thought that the reported "high contrast" Firefox theme might help. Unfortunately, it seems that the only way to turn this on is to turn on high contrast themes in Windows-- and I have adjusted my Desktop so that I don't need them. Unfortunately that would seem to be the only way to get it in Firefox.
Is there a secret way to force high contrast themes? The best solution for low-vision users, of course, would be to officially support AnyColor, or an addon like it.
As an interim solution I'm using Purple Fox, which at least has the feature of being light text on a black background, and has visible tab close boxes; but it has fuzzy edges and twiddly graphics all over the place. It's not bad, it's just not really good. But having tried all of the themes with the word "dark" or "black" in the descriptions, it may be the closest to a working LV theme.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

NoSquint is certainly a nice AddOn, which does something helpful; but it doesn't enable high contrast themes, which is what the question was about.
I have gone back to 3.6.16 in the meantime. I can continue to use AnyColor that way. The 4.0 upgrade seems to have more disadvantages than advantages.

Thanks for the reply. To clarify, by "Firefox chrome" I am referring to Firefox's GUI, such as the tab bar, scrollable context menus and the contents of the 'about:' pages. As a point of interest, Chromium on Ubuntu recently started supporting touch-scrolling for web pages and throughout it's interface.
dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled sends touch events to the webpage, which is less important to me right now. In fact, others have reported that in situations where Firefox has touch-scrolling, enabling that option breaks the touch-scrolling for webpages that listen for the touch events (hence the default being 'disabled').
I'd really like to know if native touch-scrolling is possible under Linux as my current setup is functional but not ideal.

All user profiles have defaulted to High Contrast Theme

This is in an academic, RDP only environment. 3 server 2012 machines, 2 of them are DC's. The two with the problem happen to be the DC's
A student changed his/her theme to High Contrast, for whatever reason, everyones theme was changed, except Administrator. Users connect via NComputing thin clients.
Ive removed the High Contrast theme from Resources/Ease of Access, now new users dont receive the High Contrast theme by default. But existing users still have the High Contrast theme on logon.
Group Policy controls the theme settings but it doesnt seem to have any affect.
Is the High Contrast theme stored in their profile somewhere? NTUSER.DAT ? We have well over 300 users, so it is a chore to do it manually. Id like to find the registry setting that is adding this. It seems odd that only two of the three servers are doing
this. Ive compared registry settings, even imported/exported HKU/.DEFAULT but it doesnt seem to have any affect.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, the theme does not store in NTUSER.DAT. Please let us know if you use the Microsoft remote desktop client or third party remote desktop clients.
If you third-party ones, I suggest contacting their support first.
In addition, please provide us screenshots for further research.
Thanks.

Looking for a high-contrast extension for Safari for Windows

First of all,what do we call them - extensions or plugins?
Is there an extension for Safari for Windows for high-contrast? I can't find one anywhere. Windows 7 is set to a HC theme. IE just follows suit. Chrome detected this, ad offered to install a theme.
Don't know why, but I still prefer Safari on my Win7 system. But really need HC. One that just inverts the colors would work, but one with several other options like the Chrome extension would be better.
A Link! A Link! My kingdom for a Link!

Apple has dropped support for Safari on Windows

I use high contrast mode (am visually impaired); just upgraded to 8.0. When I open a new tab, the background does not high contrast, showing white until the page loads. Is there a setting that can be adjusted to fix this, or is this permanent?

I use Windows Vista, and I use the default Alt+Shift+PrtScn high contrast mode for white text on a black background. I only notice when I click a link that opens a new tab or open a tab via the mouse wheel that becomes the main tab. I can't switch tabs fast enough if I click a link that doesn't open as the main tab to tell if the problem persists. The duration of the non-high contrast background is only as long as the page takes to load. There does not seem to be much lag, but the lack of high contrast is painful enough that I have to close my eyes, so I'm not sure. On a related note, the new status information does not high contrast either, making it impossible for me to read.

Running FF 8.0 on Windows 7 (64-bit)

After updating to Version 29.0.1, high contrast no longer works.

I use Windows 7's High Contrast frequently (it is much easier on my eyes). After Firefox updated to Version 29.0.1, the browser no longer displayed web pages in high contrast (white text on black background). Is there a way to fix this? (I am now back to using Version 28, which works correctly)

Firefox 28 exposes your system to security vulnerabilities.
* https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
You can override website colors under Options → Content → Colors.
* [[Accessibility features in Firefox - Make Firefox and web content work for all users]]
I don't recommend it though. That also hides background images, which some sites use to display information that's essential to navigation. There are two methods that are preferable to the above:
<u>'''Method 1'''</u>
# Install the NoSquint add-on.
#* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
# Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
# Next to the NoSquint entry, click the Options button.
# Click the Colors tab. Check whatever options you're interested and set the colors, but make sure "Disable background images" remains unchecked.
<u>'''Method 2'''</u>
# Install Stylish and restart Firefox when prompted.
#* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
# Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Add-ons.
# In the Add-ons Manager, click User Styles on the left.
# Click the Write New Style button at the top. Paste the either of the following styles in the text box, give the style a name, then click the Save button.
#* You can then toggle the style on or off by clicking the Stylish icon on the toolbar.

How can I change IOS7 to be higher contrast and bolder?

How can I change IOS7 to be higher contrast and bolder? I can hardly read the timer/alarms among other things? I really am not thrilled with the new delicate look and I'm a woman.

Firefox option "Allow Website to choose their own font/color" fails in High Contrast

On Windows 8.1 and Firefox 32, the option to Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" Fails completely if Windows 8 is using a High Contrast Theme.
Regardless of the Windows Theme, Firefox should allow pages to use their designed colors otherwise problems will exist on a number of sites. Including the Mozilla.org page.
With the Allow Pages... turned on, it should look like this:
http://yosemitelandscapes.com/temp/correct.jpg
Instead the Windows High Contrast is forced upon the web site:
http://yosemitelandscapes.com/temp/incorrect.jpg
For reference Chrome does this correctly which has forced me to switch to the Chrome Browser until a fix is issued for this problem.
NOTE: This is not the same problem people reported where High Contrast did not function in Firefox 29. But I think it may be related to the fix.
I have tried "reverse logic" and turned these options on and off to see if the behavior changed. Pages refreshed and even closed and reloaded. I can find no way to work in High Contrast Themes and allow pages to show up normally in Firefox 32.
I much prefer the security and design of Firefox. Help us please!!!

That's a painful example. I don't have access to Windows 8/8.1 myself, but I suspect this is by design, as I have seen other screenshots from users using high contrast dark themes that did not have background colors and images.
Firefox 32 contains a change from this bug: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042625 Bug 1042625 - Page should be drawn in accordance with the high contrast themes]. The testing (and a comment in the patch) refers to solving a problem on Windows 7, but apparently Windows 8 also was affected.
I don't know whether there is a workaround to tweak what is and isn't displayed in the page with a high contrast theme.

Will not show web page on windows high contrast

Hi,
Am running Windows 7 64bit
my problem is as follows.
I normally run Windows in high contrast mode and would prefer all web sites to be on the dark side.
Occasionally I need to be able to see a web page as its designers intended it to be.
So I want to have the text white and background black and then the ability to toggle between that and the web page's own colour scheme.
Thought I'd found exactly what I needed in the add-on "Toggle Document Colors 1.0"
Am presuming it toggles the status of the "Allow pages to choose their own colours..." tick box.
This setting seems to get lost when FF closes. Even if I set the tick box myself and then close FF it is gone when I reopen FF.
If the box is ticked and a page refreshed it still does not show web page colours ?
Without any addons at all after a reset and only using the colours dialog I cannot get it to behave.
If you start in Windows white mode (normal) things are better even after FF close. Change to Windows black mode (high contrast) things start off ok then after you close FF it will not work
If there is a solution I would love to know it.
Will settle for a workaround.
Considered using old version of FF, but this is not really a good idea.
Really don't want to go back to IE
in hope ... Bob

iTunes does not yet support Windows 8, so there may not be a fix until such time as Apple releases a version of iTunes that does support 8. You can search this forum for "windows 8", though, and perhaps you'll find a suggestion in one of the other threads on the issue.

Images on a page cause the High-Contrast mode to fail

I have created some very simple two page PDF files, with both Microsoft Word 2013 (using the Acrobat Pro XI PDF Maker) and Adobe InDesign CS6.
When viewing the PDF I set a high contrast colour scheme by going to Edit/Preferences/Accessibility and selecting to "Replace Document Colors" and choosing a high contrast color scheme (such as "Green text on black").
Without an image in the document everything works fine.
However as soon as I place an image on the page, then all I get is a completely black page. The second page without the image displays as expected.
Does ayone know of a workaround for this problem?

The page definately has text on it.
In Word the page consistes of a Heading 1, followed by a few lines of text in a single paragraph. This is repeated on the second page. This works fine without an image, but as soon as a small image (about 200px square) is placed in-line with the text it displays as just a black page when the high contrast scheme is selected. If the background colour is change to something other than black it is as though there is a large rectangle over the entire page, and the underlying text can be seen underneath if it is a lighter colour, but is obscured if black.
Further experimentation seems to indicate that if the image is a JPG image then it works fine, but if the image is a GIF or a PNG image then I get the black page. I was not aware that there was a limitation that prevented these two types of image being used?

Apple 22" cinema display suddenly became high contrast

Suddenly my display became high -contrast (the only way I can explain it) with ragged edges to everything and the type light and fading and with bluish shadows on most of the letters. I've tried changing the resolution -- which "knocked" it right yesterday. Today, however, it's back and doesn't respond to anything I do. Help.

Look in the "Seeing" tab of "Universal Access" system preference and make sure the "Enhance contrast" slider is all the way to the left ("Normal").

High contrast when viewing a slideshow

When I look at a photo in full screen mode, it is fine, but as soon as I click on the slideshow, the contrast changes and the pictures all appear in very high contrast, and they look horrible. Does anyone have any idea why this is, and how to fix it? Does anyone else suffer from this problem? This is on a 24" iMac.

Start with this basic fix: trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
