Odd Installer Dialogs
Tuesday, May 5, 2020 by RedneckDude | Discussion: Stardock Support General
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.

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 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.

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 !

Looks like it dies here.
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.

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