I serendipitously discovered the high contrast theme setting for Windows, and boy does it help my aging eyes. I discovered the high contrast #2 theme works best for me. Find it in start-settings-ease of access-high contrast.

I have been using that for a couple of years now due to my eye problems. You are correct, it is much easier.

So, you discovered it... but are you too blind to share with the rest of us how you got to it? :rofl:

Here, let me point it out to you again, as in the original post:

Blindness joke, dude, blindness joke!
I've tried it in the past. It's reminiscent of the old Windows 3.1 days.

I see.

I discovered that a while ago (Win 7, go ahead and laugh), but I have trouble getting out of it. Internet research on the "escaping" is vague and I can't make it go away without shutting down and re-starting.
I found that the Brave browser has a similar provision, but forgot how to get to it since I changed it and liked it and left it that way.
The good ole Mr. Wilson of browsers, IE11, has a really convenient enlargement function, but I am getting "Unsupported Browser" messages more and more often. I may have to throw the first shovelful of dirt in after it.

"Win 7, go ahead and laugh"
I'm still running Windows 7 Pro or whatever on my home computer that Mtnbkr built for me in... crap... right about now in 2011. Damned thing is 10 years old and is still going strong...

I'm still running XP on my desktop. It's sort of like a super-secure storage box since it's never even seen "The 'Net" and it's got a 3 - 1/2" floppy drive on it. I run Win7 on my HP laptop.
In a way, excepting for genuine tech advances (like bit width) an operating system is just an operating system, and newer "versions:" just have different software hung onto it. In a way.
Most of the original DOS commands are still available, with different and newer switches. After all, dir C: still gives you a dir C, and dir C:/p still gives you a dir C a page at a time.
So it may be naïve, but looking at it that way keeps me comfortable about keeping old systems around,.

I didn't know that even existed. I just switched it on. I like it.
