When I converted the access 97 database to 2010, I updated the design of the forms.
Now 1 user told me that the changes give her an instant headache.
Old form
New one
I can’t figure out what could cause this cause I don’t thing the black font on dark green was better. I also changed the font to Arial 9 instead of Ms sans serif 8
She said it’s a little better on my computer than her.
So I changed her monitor for a better one cause she had a really old one but she still find it hard to read.
The only difference now is that she’s in Windows XP and mine is Windows 7
She can’t tell what’s wrong. She finds that there’s a shadow on the text
But she said that she didn’t have this problem with the old form.
Is there any difference for the font between Windows XP and Windows 7?
If not, what’s wrong with my new design?
Thank you

The complaint about “shadow text” makes me wonder whether a Windows setting for ClearType or something similar may be involved here. Unfortunately that is only a WAG and I can’t offer a better clue.
If it were me, I would be tempted to solve the problem by reverting to the original colors and text attributes.
