OT High Contrast - DON'T DO IT
I am not a computer guru but I am not a light weight either but how I hate Microsoft. I run windows 8.1 on an HP laptop. It seems like every time I turn it on it updates something or other.
Well last night it updated and a new little icon appeared on my login screen. I clicked on it and there were some system setting and one of them was something called "High Contrast" which was an on/off switch.
I made the fatal mistake of turning it on. It totally changed all of the colors for fonts, boarders and backgrounds. I did not like it at all so I turned it off. Oh lord was that a mistake.
This little button completely screwed up my computer to the point my applications were unusable because of white text on a white background or blue text on a blue background.
Thank god the internet was still usable and after hour of searching help sites I found the answer. Trust me the answer is not something you would figure out on your own.
So my advice is whatever you do, don't screw with the high contrast button
