Change Verse combo text color

Post by rdwray »

The "Verse:" combo text box follows Windows 11 settings, is there another way to change the text color?

No there isn't a way in theWord to change this. What Windows setting exactly does it follow? I was unaware of this.

What about the difference between "Bible Search" and "Book Search" windows?

Is it a high dpi/scaling issue. I don't have a way to test this as I don't have such a screen.
Seeking help.

I have run the compatibility troubleshooter without success. These two boxes are located next to each other just as they are shown. I moved the search window around and created a new one but it didn't make any difference.

Just one thing, the "Help > About" does not show the version and I use a link that opens a generic "theWord.exe" without the version number.

The issue is that I have to run the compatibility troubleshooter because of the hi-res display and if the file name is changed, it takes a whole new up.

No, compatibility troubleshooter solved that problem. Downloaded 1529 and it is right.

Did the version number ever appear for you. It would be below those buttons at the bottom of the About.
