Odd Installer Dialogs

Hey guys, I am seeing this install dialog when installing Stardock products.  This  is unreadable.  Using dark mode or Light mode built into windows. With and without Curtains or Windowblinds.

Also, a fresh install, new PC equipment all around, and nothing installed but Stardock.

Hello Jim,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I don't see it on my system.

 

Have you try rebooting?

LOL, several times.

Every Stardock install I have done does it. I'll see what I get installing other things. I thought it was Curtains, so I uninstalled Curtains. Didn't help.

It looks like your system buttonface colour has been set to black.

Did you perhaps have a theme where you did that?  If so don't :)

I haven't done anything like that. I don't even know what buttonface means.

 

I tried only using the default windows 10 skin (disabling windowblinds) and uninstalled Curtains.  Still get the same dialog.

I have installed a few non Stardock apps/programs and I am not seeing the black dialogs.

Looks like it dies here.

Not sure why you getting the black dialogues when installing Stardock products.  I just installed Curtains, just to check and did not get it.  The buttons on the other hand is dark for me, but I noticed that on any programs so taking that's due to the windowblind skin I'm presently using.  Although, neither of that is helping you with your problem !

It is almost certainly a bad system colour somewhere.

Try going to the Windows personalize page, find themes and pick the default theme, does that help?

Also what if you apply a different WB theme as that should reset colours on apply.  Are they still all black?

The other oddity I notice is some of your buttons are using an odd colour for text too which again points to odd colours somewhere.

I'll try your suggestions.  As for a different WB theme, this was happining DURING the install of WindowBlinds.
