When I go to options.Text and Background and change text color and
background color my selections don't change. When I chose different colors
for text and background they revert back to default as soon as I close
windows.

What bothers me in particular is when I go to a pull down menu (for
instance to select a country) the background is grey and text is black
resulting in no contrast.

Can someone help?

Thanks

uncheck "Use System colors" and also try unchecking the "Allow pages
to choose their own colors . . ."

As I reported in previous reply the fix for page background color and text
worked.

However in pull down menus I still have problems. Many times we are asked
what country we reside in. Then one pulls down till you find your country.
(Just an example)This is still presented with a dark grey background which
is hard to read

can you provide an example site that you're having problems with.
Maybe someone can go check it out and recommend something else. Thanks
