1.2.0

Microsoft SQL Server 2019 (RTM-GDR) (KB5046859) - 15.0.2130.3 (X64)

Windows Version

Describe the Bug

I realise this is specific to our configuration, and may be unusual.
Application is running on a VM,
Windows server is in Dark mode.
If collection errors occur a single line status message appears in red
Hovering over that message shows an illegible popup, presumably of errors

Steps to Reproduce

Start PerformanceMonitorLite.exe
If collection errors occur a single line message appears in red
Hovering over that message shows an illegible popup, presumably of errors

Expected Behavior

Errors to be readable

Actual Behavior

With server default colours (we have to use RDP to the VM) error messages are off-white on off-white.

@smartwombat i just released 1.3 with a lot of fixes around this stuff. Can you give that a shot?

Thanks Erik I’m hamstrung by the VM only having 8GB of memory. Performance sucks :( But features are great! I’m recommending it to one of our professional services team to get their opinion.

Colours fixed, but it still overlays the bottom of the window, so the red message isn't visible.
Awesome to see a change so quick, Erik.
