Ability to change UI to Negative Colors?
Hey Gang:
Trying to catch up with the latest version. You are doing great. A special feature I would love you to consider that wouldn't generally occur to most users.
I am very legally blind, and for those with poor vision, its much better to have a black background with white letters (or symbols) than the usual black on white. Truth is, it would probably be better on EVERYONE'S eyes if the main UI were black, and all wording and symbols white. So much less glare and strain on the eyes. Just a wishful thought!
Thanks, Tom

Doesn't the dark them help already?

I've tried various "themes", but nothing changes does a "complete negative" reversal. For instance, right now I'm writing on black, with yellow print. That's the best theme for me. But in Muse, only the "Shell" changes to black. The buttons are still black letters on bright gray buttons. Oh well... it was just a thought?

Try to go in Preferences > General > Style > Dark. That should display the whole UI in white on dark.

You are AWESOME lasconic! This worked like a charm!
Thanks pal!!!
You can change the paper color in Edit / Preferences But I don't know a way to make the music not be black by default. You can change colors of things individually, but that won't do you much good. Not sure if anyone else has better ideas?

Oddly, there was a way to do that in MuseScore 1.3, in the "Colors" section of the Preferences. There may have been a good reason it was removed, but it shows that it's possible. Any thoughts on re-implementing it? We are trying to improve accessibility, after all.

Seems like a good idea to do something along these lines, but whether it is exactly that option or something else I am not sure about. I am hoping to see another big accessiblity push for 2.1
You know, there is probably a way to switch everything to negative colors for your operating system. Some examples: http://www.wikihow.com/Invert-Colors-on-a-Mac, http://www.wikihow.com/Invert-Colors-on-Your-Windows-XP. I don't know how helpful this actually is, but it's nice to know about it.
