You're not referring to fields in a composition window
any more, are you? ; )

Care to revise your symptom description
for what you're looking at now? ; }

Also, what are your High Contrast settings?

I just got a stack error in sethc.exe so I won't be able
to guess what your scenario might look like for a while.
<eg>

Ok. A second try worked. You mean the Folder pane
didn't change? That is strange. Well, at least the tooltip
is bigger and brighter... <eg>

Neat. Look at the Title bar? That stays there even without
the Folder pane.

It would be nice to get something other than that sickly
light blue highlighting of the selected folder...
OMG. This stuff is so wacked. Here's your fix:

Toggle the Folder pane off and on. (Use a toolbar button
to do that.) Then the selected folder will be completely
unreadable (because now it is dark blue with BLACK text
<LOL/>) but now the text will be bigger and as already
noted you will have cues about what that dark blob is
by using either a tooltip or believing what the Window's
Title bar tells you.

Since accessibility features are supposed to be better in Vista
YMMV. <eg>


HTH
