Are there any settings within Moneydance that would help me see the screen better. I have a vision impairment, and the print on the screen is very light. I have experimented with settings on my PC to add contrast & brightness, but they do not seem to have any effect on the Moneydance screen.Some websites are better with changed Settings, but not this one.

   For Moneydance the first thing to try is the theme.

   Select the Moneydance menu item File => Preferences.

   Select the Appearance Tab.

   I would suggest you try different themes first, High Contrast and Classic would be good choices to try initially. These themes you can also customize the colours if you wish to go further

   Hi John,
   Thank you for contacting Moneydance support.

   I can see you’ve received a reply from one of our knowledgeable Moneydance customers. To add to this useful information I thought it's worth mentioning that to customize Moneydance you can navigate to File->Preferences->Appearance->Custom->Customize
   You should click 'OK' and restart Moneydance to retain your changes.

   Thanks; it’s good to have several options. I’ll try them all. pre { width: 92%; margin: 10px 2%; padding: 5px 2%; background: rgb(239, 239, 239); border: 1px solid rgb(214, 214, 214); } blockquote { margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 1em; border-left: 5px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); }
