I'm 74 years old and have cataracts. I can't read the screen, especially in your website, so I'm posting this using IE. I did not elect to upgrade from version 28 to 29. Version 28 respected windows color settings. Under personalize (right click on the desktop) I select high contrast #2 which is green on black.

Version 29 is useless to me the way it is. Can it be set to give me reverse video or can I switch back to version 28?
