MT5 does not comply with the general theme colors after build 4570, as I mentioned here https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/448873#comment_54724820 before. As a Dark Theme user, seeing large white boxes kills my focus and hurts my eyes. for the comparison I attached the good old 4150 build that was perfectly working with windows registery color set, and the latest version that is refusing to do so.
As of build 4570, all toolbox and tester items appear as dark text on light background, regardless of the general windows theme colors. for a dark theme user it feels like looking into a flashlight in the dark.
As a developer I frequently need to read my EA messages and go back to the code to change something, this is troublesome specially when the toolbox messages are stacked, turning lights on in a large portion of the display.
