Windows 10: White highlight around my text, poor quality text

I've read and tried everything on the forum that I've seen on this subject. It's not fixing it. How can I get rid of the poor text quality and back shadow. it's really bad then text is highlighted. Thanks! I have a file with screen shots that I can upload.

problem on a few menus - white text on white background

G'day all.

I have two instances of having white text on white backgrounds. I use start10 by Stardock, and on its menus, items currently highlighted are showing white text on a white background. Other (non-highlighted) items display correctly.

I also noticed this same thing when Cortana displays something like my shopping list. If i ask her to display my shopping list, she does, and i can see the checkboxes, but the actual text of the list is not visible.

I sense this has something to do with system level font/color settings, but I can't find where this is controlled in Win10.

 

Poor quality text when using HDR

Hi Don,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I can understand that it must be difficult for you when things are not working as it should.

1. What is the make and model of the TV and the computer?
   
2. Are you facing the same issue even on computer or is it only with the TV monitor?
   

I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to turn off ClearType for the HDMI output connected to TV keeping your regular computer display. To do so,

1. Click on Start, type in ClearType and click on
   Adjust ClearType text option.
   
2. The ClearType Text Tuner app will be opened on the screen.
   
3. Uncheck > Turn on ClearType and click on
   Next.
   
4. You’ll be able to see the options such as Yes, I want to tune all monitors now and
   No, only tune the monitors that I select.
   
5. Select No, only tune the monitors that I select and click on the preferred monitor (TV) and follow the onscreen prompts.
   
6. On the next page, select a text sample that looks most readable to you and click on the Next button.
   
7. Repeat the same step on subsequent pages. You will see 5 screens with text samples in a row.
   
8. Click on the Finish button to accept the changes you made.
   

Meanwhile, regarding the issue with the distorted colors and text quality I would suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it works for you.

Steps to change the display settings to match the resolution of the display:

1. Press Windows + I key on your keyboard, click on
   System.
   
2. Click on Display.
   
3. You will see an option to Select and rearrange displays, click on the display associated with the TV.
   
4. Scroll down to select the ‘Recommended’ option under
   Scale and layout to Change the size of text, apps, and other items, and
   Resolution.
   

For more information I would also suggest you to refer the article:
HDR and WCG color settings in Windows 10.

Hope it helps.

Text Editor on Webpage

I'm creating a website that requires an advanced text editor, similar to the word processor in Google docs. I'm planning on creating the editor from scratch, but I'm not sure what language to use. I was thinking of using a Java applet, but I'm open to other suggestions. Some of the features that are required are highlighting and drawing (such as Microsoft Paint). Any suggestions would be helpful.
