Force Standard Colors in Edit Boxes

Reviewed July 2020

This option overrides the application’s color parameters for edit boxes. Some applications will assign various fancy color schemes to editing, for example, using one color while editing, another for display, a third for redisplay of updated fields, etc. These enhancements can be quite effective in a text environment, but may not work so well in a GUI environment. Setting this option will cause A-Shell to ignore the application’s color specifications and just use the standard Windows ones for any edit boxes. This is essentially mandatory when Windows Themes are in effect.
