The turned off options are shadowed, dark gray font on black background, so you need to enable it, before you can read it. IOW Zyn isn't intended for visually impaired people or for usage on stage, when a spotlight is in competition with the monitor, it's intended to become another Linux toy, that is unusable for serious audio work. Congratulations! Apps should use the DE's/WM's theme, if they don't do it, they should provide a sane GUI, for the black is beautiful folks, at least do it similar to this: http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/zita-rev1-doc/zita-rev1.png For serious usage contrast is needed. If you make the background not completely black and you use colours for the potentiometers it's ok. For some apps it's useful to provide their own themes, e.g. for Ardour, but for simple GUIs, it's better to use the user's theme or at least thinking about the design. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
