At around 75-95% of a parameter value range there is a dark font on a dark background. I find this low-contrast value hard to read without glasses, which generally I don’t need to wear.

Could there be a UI option to provide a fixed white font on a black background surrounding the value? Or some other solution to improve the readability, please?

Thanks. Is that a per-control setting in the preset editor?

If it is, what I am really suggesting is a quick and easy UI option that works on existing presets without having to edit all their controls.

I will see if I can improve the detection of when the text colour should toggle to dark. I have also noticed that some colours are harder to read. even with my glasses on 🙂

I would like to have a LUA parameter for the color of the value text like control:setValueTextColor(…) ?
