""I" bar in IE is Invisible"


          

Hello men ....

Strange little problem.

On web pages with a black or dark background, the I bar becomes invisible ... its because it is black. This is a problem when I try to edit my own web pages.

Now I thought it was supposed be the inverse of whatever the background colour actually was.

Two questions ...

Does anyone actually understand what I have written? 8-)

and ...

... if so, any ideas how to fix it?

Cheers

Mick

What are you referring to as the "I bar"?

Are you in full screen mode?

So, no, I guess I don't understand the question.

Jim.

EDIT: How about a link to a page that does this? And/or post a picture.

Yes, it should reverse color on a dark background and become white. I don't know why it isn't. I know of no setting for it, but there may be some obscure registry item involved.

I just tried it on my computer, and what I found is the the I-bar is the same color as the arrow pointer -- black and white. It is not related to either the background color or the text color of an HTML page.

I presume it is two-toned (black and white) for this reason. Are you using a non-standard mouse pointer set-up?

{I tried to post an image, but the I-bar does not show up on a "Print Screen"!}

I suspect that there may be an anomaly in the pointer you are using. Try selecting a different one as a test to see if the problem is corrected.

If you pass the I bar over the bold text in these message headings, you will find that it turns white.

OK, put it over the blue bar at the top odf this thread, where it says "Reading Topic #...", andit should turn white, mine does. You have tioo go where the printing is to get the I Bar.

Well actually, when I have the mouse over a darkened letter, the section over the dark part looks kind of white. The part of the bar that is over a light background is black.
