Admin Console's Activity Monitor filter displayed in light blue.

[Haniwa]

Hi All,

We recently stood up a 5230 appliance with 2.6.0.2 (7.6.0.2) and noticed while running the Windows Activity Monitor that the filter results are displayed in light blue. Wondering where this action is controlled or what the trigger is for this action occuring since we have never seen this before.

Several of the admins have commented that the light-blue color on the text is difficult to read due to low contrast between the white background.

Has anyone seen this before and/or figured out how to revert back to good-old black font for the filter results ?

I think your Window's Color Scheme has been changed.

• Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
• Click Display
• On the left (Asusming 2008 R2 Server) click  Change color scheme
• Choose "Windows Classic" and apply
• If already at "Windows Classic", click advanced
• On the Item drop down, Click Window
• Select the White color on the color 1 drop down and black on the color drop down.
• Click ok to return to the scheme and apply.
• Click ok to close the scheme window.

-edit- explore the different settings as needed, I am sure it is one of these

I think you are on to the likely culprit... Windows color settings.

Windows 2012 R2 is the OS that the Admon Console is running on. The background is pure black. Unfortunately, display settings are controlled by Group Policy, so can't change them myself.

WIll post and update if/when I am able to change the Windows colors.

Thank You, Ken W

Since Netbackup does not have any color controls, it has to be Windows color settings. But, those are locked down by Group Policy, so we decided to live with light blue :)
