Text Font Color Not Displaying as Expected

Hello,

I recently upgraded from Trados Studio Freelancer 2021 to 2024 and imported my profile from the previous version.

However, I’ve encountered an issue with the text font color. It doesn’t appear as I set it in the Editor Colors; it looks as though the color intensity is being reduced, almost as if there’s a filter applied.

As you can see in the screenshot, I selected a very light gray (almost white), but it’s displaying as a much darker gray in the editor.

I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions on how to resolve this.

P.S. In Studio 2021, it works as expected with the same configuration shown in the screenshot.

    "Question improvement suggestion": Please provide more information about the steps you've taken to troubleshoot this issue, the exact version of Trados Studio 2024 you're using, and any recent changes you've made to your system or software. Also, it would be helpful to know your operating system and its version.

    In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:

    Hello,

    It seems like you're experiencing an issue with the text font color in Trados Studio 2024. This could be due to a variety of factors, including software bugs, compatibility issues, or settings that were not correctly imported from the previous version.

    Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:

    Step 1: Check for updates within the application. Make sure you're running the latest version of Trados Studio 2024.

    Step 2: Try resetting your Editor Colors to the default settings. You can do this by going to Tools > Options > Editor > Colors. Click on 'Reset to Default', then apply your desired color again.

    Step 3: If the issue persists, try creating a new profile instead of importing the old one. There might be some settings in the old profile that are not compatible with the new version.

    Step 4: If none of the above steps work, you might want to consider reinstalling Trados Studio 2024. Before you do this, make sure to back up all your important data.

    Please note that these are general troubleshooting steps and might not solve your specific issue. If the problem persists, it would be helpful to have more information about your system and the exact steps you're taking when you encounter this issue.

  • The issue seems to be related to the configuration file of my profile imported from Trados 2021.

    After removing a specific settings group from my profile file, the issue was resolved, and the color settings are now properly applied.

    For anyone who might find this helpful:

    • The profile file can be found at: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio18\UserProfiles
    • The settings group that I deleted from the file is: <SettingsGroup Id="EditControlDisplaySettingsGroup">

    Below is an image showing the "before" and "after" of deleting this part of the file.

    Side-by-side comparison of Trados Studio interface before and after a settings change. The 'BEFORE' side shows rows with dark and light green color blocks, while the 'AFTER' side shows the same rows with uniform green color blocks, indicating improved color settings.
