No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I finally got the bottom bar to be the color that I want instead of stupid gray. But whenever I’m moused over something in the system, it’s impossible to see what I’m really actually moused over. Is there a way to change that highlight color?

In the photo I’ve attached. It’s somewhat easy to see it, but in real life unless you’re sitting way off the side of the computer screen, you literally can’t see what is highlighted. It’s basically gray on gray. On a side note, I wanna meet the people who actually designed this interface give them a piece of my mind. But big question how do I change the highlight color of what I’m moused over.?

you need to change the gamma on your monitor.

to be clear, gamma is not brightness or contrast, but rather more of a curve. to put it simply, it changes how bright the middle grey colour is the most, while leaving white and black the same.

in your screenshot, if that colour not visible to you, then that means your middle grey is too bright.

FYI in the future take a screenshot. There’s a couple ways to do it; either with the print screen button or ctrl+win+s.

I thought Ctrl+Win+S was a shortcut that launched the Snipping Tool

I believe what you want might not be an individual setting, but just part of the currently selected theme.

You might actually want to check your monitor brightness and contrast settings. Find a test pattern and follow calibration instructions.

There's 2 accessibility options I know of that could help. High contrast mode and dark mode. For high contrast it's.

Select the Start button, then select Settings > Ease of Access > High contrast

As far as I know, the ability to change the colour of the obnect your cursor is hovering over is not a thing you can do in windows.

[–] ImFineJustABitTired@lemmy.ml 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Back when I was using windows there was this option to sort of invert the color of the cursor, so when it’s hovering over white the cursor becomes black etc. I’m quite confident it’s still there in windows 11

The OP is asking how to change the color of the button that's hovered behind the cursor. But I also enjoy the inverted cursor.
