Hi @Volker_Hinkel,
This is a known issue in Pro Tools that unfortunately SoundFlow has no control over.

Hi Christian,
yeah I know about this workaround.
but in the new protools version the font is white and the background is very bright.
so I´m not able to read anything.
is there a way to set the font color to black?
when I switch back to classic mode it´s still the same problem
best regards

Hi Volker,
Can you share a screenshot of this? This sounds like a Pro Tools bug.
Volker Hinkel @Volker_Hinkel
Hi Christian,
here comes the screenshot ...cheers volker

Thank you! So, just to clarify so I can report this on to Avid - you have Dark mode in the OS and Dark mode in Pro Tools correct?
Volker Hinkel @Volker_Hinkel
Hi,
no ... only dark mode in ProTools.
Mac Os was on bright- In reply tochrscheuer⬆:

if I switch to classic mode in PT it´s even worse !
Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2022-01-31 11:01:02.138Z
Wow. What version of Pro Tools is this? The title bar is also odd looking with Avid Link and Help all the way to the right. Do you have any kind of customization going on?
Volker Hinkel @Volker_Hinkel
It is PT Version 2021.12.0
but it´s running on a new M1 MacBook Pro.
maybe that´s the problem ?Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2022-01-31 11:42:42.171Z
Ok, thank you. That's so odd looking. I have got PT running on a M1 laptop as well and I'm not seeing those issues with the white text on system menus. I run macOS in dark mode, not sure if that could impact it.
Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2022-01-31 11:43:59.276Z
Here's how mine looks. macOS 12, M1 chip, Pro Tools in light mode, macOS in dark mode.

Hi there guys,
Are there any updates on this? Also getting fully white menus on my end:
Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2022-04-14 10:20:09.679Z
Hi Vic,
Unfortunately, this is a Pro Tools bug that SoundFlow cannot control, so I can't give updates on when this will be fixed. We hope it will be fixed in a future Pro Tools release.
Vic Cuccia @viccucciamusic
All good, I can use the "search plugin" alternative for now. Thanks, Christian!

Thought I'd post an update here: I changed Pro Tools' color for another reason, but then noticed the Menus looked correct! I'd bet the issue comes simply from Pro Tools' text color not being adjusted correctly. Hope it helps!
