Windows dark theme works fine, but adding High Contrast does not

Stephen Yeo
I have Windows 10 set to dark mode, and Zotero picks this up when launching and it works fine. But if I add High Contrast to the dark mode, Zotero becomes unusable - none of the items in the item grid are visible until I click to select them. And the names of the fields for an item are visible, but the values of the field are not visible until you select them. (Selection adds a light blue background that makes the text visible)
Is there a way ot tweaking Zotero to make the High Contrast usable?

Thanks

    Windows 10 will be EOL later this year, so I would recommend updating to Windows 11.

    That said, I can reproduce parts of this on Windows 11. As a temporary workaround, it may help to open Zotero Settings and set Color Scheme to Dark — Automatic seems to default to light colors when the system is using a high-contrast dark theme. We'll see what we can do to improve things.

    Thanks very much, I'll try that.
