A while back I posted about the colors in setup.exe. I noticed that the
text background color is fixed but that there is still a problem with
the tree structure; specifically, the clickable [+] and [-] icons are,
on my colors, effectively invisible. On some other color schemes I
tried, they *are* 100% invisible.

Yes, this is most likely reproducible (as the foreground color of those icons is *always* black.

3: If I pick, e.g. (64,0,128) for my window background color, the
tree becomes the *exact* same color as the background.

Hmm, weird -- for me the foreground color of the icons is *always* black.

Unfortunately, a: this isn't the case for me, and b: as you've so astutely pointed out, if it was that would still be problematic :-). (In reality, I've learned that *someone* is always going to exercise poor design and so I usually pick a background light enough for black to be at least marginally visible against it).


Theoretically, it should be a simple matter of using MaskBlt instead of
BitBlt with the properly configured pen color and the properly set up
mask.  In practice, making this work on all platforms (including Win9x),
correctly, and with the minimum amount of code changes is a big pain.

I'm using Win2k3 R2 x64 and (see attached screenshot) I can assure you it doesn't work on my system. Maybe my OS is the problem? (Hmm... yup, the problem has to be Windows ;-).)


Also, I'd test on my XP system but it is consistently dereferencing a NULL :-(. (On W2k3 R2 it did that *once* and has since run just fine.)

After tweaking and rebuilding 2.529 from the tarball, I can confirm, for whatever it's worth, that I see the same behavior on XP. Maybe now that I have the sources built I'll be more likely to submit a patch. :-) Time permitting, of course.
