Dark Mode request for all dialog boxes

[Baçsó Grande]

The text boxes, tutorials, tool tips, and many other dialog boxes are very difficult to read with their white backgrounds. It's even worse for description text because the font is italicized and thin. I have to play this game w/ the Windows Magnifier to pan one word at a time, which will take awhile to finish (or I may have to quit due to eye strain) with the amount of reading in this title.

I appreciate the colour blind modes that are already available, plus the text size option, but please look into other standards like Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), W3C and WAI-ARIA for ideas on what other people may require to alter the colours for their individual vision issues.

In my case I have Retinitis Pigmentosa, a rare retinal disease, and it affects the way I perceive certain colour combos and I'm sensitive to white colours on monitors. If I could turn the text to 'Dark Mode', where everything is white text on a black background, I could read all of the information quickly and efficiently. I understand this may break some of the UI aesthetic of the game, but it'll be painstaking to finish this as it is.

Obviously Baldur's Gate 3 is held in high regard in 2023, especially in the cRPG world with its popularity, but they added a few helpful UI options in this area and it's much easier to play as a result. This is the kind of feature that the community, disabled individuals like me or otherwise, would be happy if it were more of an industry standard.

Thank you Owlcat Games for your hard work, I am enjoying the prologue very much, though it's taken me nearly 8 hours to fumble my way through. but hopefully I'll look forward to the rest!

I have an extreme bug in my game.
There is no writing at all in the dialog windows, tooltips, etc. to recognize!

The strange thing is, I had already played for a few hours yesterday. When I loaded the save game today, I suddenly couldn't read the boxes dialog anymore. I have already uninstalled the game, but the game adopted the settings again when I installed it!
I think I deleted everything. I can no longer find any Rouge Trader files on my PC either. Nevertheless, I have the same settings and key combinations again at the beginning.
I must have missed something. Does anyone have a tip for me?

Geforce Experience is messing up the game's settings. Disable it. Your font size is currently set to 0. I would recommend just resetting all settings to default because it also messed up other settings.

I'm also playing using Windows Magnifier.

When combat initiates, I am unable to move the magnifier around the screen (I use Full Screen mode for Windows Magnifier). I have attempted to change every setting in Rogue Trader and try different combinations, but with no luck. Windows Magnifier remains stuck in one spot while zoomed in during combat.

Have you also encountered this issue?
