The app contrast is really low, stuff just dissapears into whiteness (especially the disabled options in the settings tab, which are almost impossible to see)
Are there any themes or settings I can use to drasticly improve the contrast of the manager app itself?
Please provide a proper screenshot and not a photograph of a screen, see FAQ - Manager Forum
- Don’t post photographs of your screen. They are usually difficult to read. Use a screen capture utility and upload screen shots using the upload icon in the Forum composing pane.
In answer to your question, you show the Settings screen and any that is not active is low contrast. Just click on one, enter some stuff and you will see that that one will become active and has the normal contrast.
That’s really the whole point though isn’t it. A screenshot will NOT show how the program actually looks when displayed on the screen.
The program looks normal in screenshots when the screenshot is opened on other displays.
Its extremely low contrast on this Toshiba Laptop. Its also the only program with this issue because its the only one that doesn’t seem to follow Windows’ accessibility settings or dark mode or high contrast mode settings.
The whole point is, look at how it displays ON THE SCREEN. no lines, no edges, no definition, and the faded stuff in settings doesn’t even appear.
So the user has to click around randomly in the blank white space in settings, hoping to find the button they need to click on without being able to see it.
==========
So, let me return to the original question.
Is there a high-contrast mode? Or any form of accessibility mode that can be used to increase the contrast so the app can actually displayed to a person with vision difficulties correctly.
Or even, a dark mode, as everything on this laptop already runs in dark mode and displays just fine to the person with vision difficulty.
This laptop is owned by a person with vision difficulty, and having a grey text on a grey background UI is terrible for him.
This forum is great though, solid black text on a nice white background, contrast is really good, even on this persons laptop.
That indicates a problem with you physical display not the Manager software.
The solutions to which is to address the problem with your hardware, it’s driver and settings.
That is why the following was requested
It helps differentiate between a Manager deficiency experienced by many Manager users and a problems with a particular uses hardware set up.
As such this request is still valid. Please illustrate the problem and use case with appropriate screen shots as requrested.
Its a Toshiba L750
The entire range of Toshiba L750 displays have an issue where anything above 80% grey (towards the white end of the spectrum) appears as white on screen. (Screenshots will obviously look normal when viewed on other displays)
There is no solution for this hardware, as all replacement displays for the L750 are the same, and have the same issue.
As Manager uses a lot of light greys, they all simply all become white.
So… That brings me back to Accessibility options such as High Contrast mode, or Dark Mode.
Window’s high contrast mode looks absolutely brutal in Manager, with everything becoming yellow and green instead of black and white. So, that isn’t really a good option.
If manager has a hidden High Contrast Mode, or other similar accessibility settings, I would simply like to know how to activate these settings.
I’m not saying your request has not relevance to Manger
I’m saying if you want any Manager component to be addressed
Together with a description of your use case and Manager limitation
Solved.
I asked the DeepSeek AI.
It suggested an app to forcibly override manager’s theme. And sure enough, everything now displays properly and is actually visible.

No extra app needed.
Looks Useful,
but with this one, I can just ALT+Q to toggle between light and dark mode instantly. Rather than screwing around with flags in the browser each time it needs to be changed.
