Describe the Bug

Hello :)

I'm nearly blind and have to use the high-contrast mode on Windows (not the dark mode!) or else I'm easily blinded by apps all around (even Windows native apps that still use the old UI which don't obey dark mode.

I tend to stay away from apps using the newest UI because they look really ugly and are barely unusable with the highcontrast mode, but I'm not sure if app devs can do anything about it or if it's really an overall Windows issue.

For example, here's the settings page :

Cider_1MJLCvGKrG

As you can see, the on/off toggles are weirdly invisible.

I tried to fiddle with the Visual settings but nothing makes a tremendous change to the UI since I'm in high-contrast mode.

I don't know if there's a way for devs to just bypass it entirely if they provide a dark theme of their own ?

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Switch to high contrast mod in Windows 10 or use a one of the high contrast themes provided on Windows 11 (W11 : Control Panel > Accessibility > Contrasted themes, pick a dark one or make your own.) (W10 : Search "High contrast" in the search bar and it should take you to the overall switch)
  2. Launch Cider

Environment Information

  • OS: Windows 11
  • App Version and/or Commit ID: 1.5.0

Anything else?

Thank you for providing a free trial for the app in the MS Store. Being disabled I never know if the app I'm going to use is going to suit my eyesight, so it was great being able to try it before considering buying it, and it looks really neat, I just wish it was more usable for me.

Keep up the great work, I hope Airplay support is enhanced soon! (to non-Apple devices like my Bose soundbar or my LG TV)
