After I updated to version 3.8.1, the color used to highlight the selected item (movie title, actor's name, etc) is too dark and the text of the item selected cannot be read.  This applies to all the color themes except classic and xp.  I really prefer the luna theme.  Is there some way to lighten the color used for highlighting selected items and/or download additional color themes?

Thanks

I don't have any answers yet except to say that nothing should have changed from the previous version in that regard.

I always assumed those particular colors were based on one's Windows theme palate. Strange.

No matter which theme is used the text is always white when the item is highlighted, so I don't understand how it can't be read from dark background.

Actually, you can customize the color for the selected (highlighted) item in Windows, so it doesn't neccessarily have to be white. That said, updating to DVDP 3.8.1 should not have changed that.

I'm not sure how to find the settings from the control panel in Win 7. I assume it must be there somewhere. But if you click Start and enter "change colors" you'll see "Change window colors and metrics". That opens a window for customizing a lot of stuff. Click on the dropdown list under "Item:" and select "Selected Items". There you can change foreground and background colors.
