Black on Black?

Post by seanturvey »

I was able to load run the program once with no problem. Now the windows are black with black text. I am assuming that there is a way to change the color scheme but without being able to see I am dead in the water.

Any thoughts?

usually this means something happened to the settings file. The settings file is in *VistumblerDir*\Settings\vistumbler_settings.ini

you can fix this a few ways
1.)delete vistumbler_settings.ini. Run vistumbler. Vistumbler will say there is a update available. If you say you want it to update it will redownload vistumbler_settings.ini from the SVN. If you say no it will recreate the file with defaults. Either way you should now have a good settings file

2.)delete vistumbler_settings.ini. Download vistumbler_settings.ini from our SVN and place it into your settings directory (http://vistumbler.svn.sourceforge.net/v ... iew=markup)
