I've posted this twice already with no response; does no one have any idea how 
to solve this?

It doesn't seem outlandish to want to support users who don't use the default 
display configuration. Setting/overriding a font color
seems like it should be a simple and basic thing, but I haven't found anything 
in the documentation, the mailing list archives, or
through searches on how to do it.

If this truly isn't possible, maybe it should be posted as a feature request?

Subject: RE: Text accessibility

How can I use the provided WiXUIExtension interfaces (such as WiXUI_Mondo or 
WiXUI_Minimal) but change the text colour to force it
to be black?

Context:

Some users set their Personalise display settings to high-contrast white text 
on black background. In the provided WiX installer
UIs, the result is white text (taking the system setting, I assume), and 
putting it on the default white background, making the text
illegible.

So it seems the simplest solution would be to purposefully make the text black 
no matter what, so it is always legible on the white
background. Yes, this will annoy said users, but not as much as not being able 
to read the installer text at all. A second, more
elegant but more complicated, solution would be to somehow detect the system's 
default font colour, and set the background to the
opposite.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
