Background colour of (no modify) notecards

Did the person who thought it's great idea to use grey for background colour as indication notecard cannot be modified... actually try to _read_ anything rendered in such manner?

Dark grey text on grey background is terrible. Bordering on unreadable on correctly calibrated monitor at worst, and at best makes one continually squint.

There is huge, bright red padlock icon in the corner of the window that stands out pretty well. More than enough of indication that no, one cannot modify the notecard. Or if you *really* need to make it more clear then pop up a message "this is no modify card" or something when one presses the key with card in focus, or something... but don't make things hard to read just because grey = read only with some interface elements... or at least make it lighter shade of grey so there's more contrast with text :<

(and please fix the Properties window while at it, it suffers from the same issue -- too dark grey shade of background makes the slightly more grey text nearly unreadable on Properties window for (no modify) items)

I just noticed this after reading your post and agree with you.
Also since this update my fonts are all blurry so its even harder to read black text on a 50% black background.

Is there any place to change fonts? Because everything for me is in a bold font that very hard to read.

Just wanted to thank whoever listened and fixed this issue. The colours in current version seems to be changed to white'ish text on dark grey background, which is way *way* easier to read.

<3 and thank you again ^^
