Dimmed text in Notepad++

[dimaver]

Hello.

I'm running wine 1.6 on Centos 6.3.
Inside a bottle I have installed Notepad++.

The problem that I see is that text and line numbers are dimmed (see the attached image).

Did anybody encounter a similar problem and knows how to solve it?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Dima.

Looks like something that could be caused by desktop effects. Try disabling them.

I downloaded the latest version of Notepad++, and I don't see that problem on my system in 1.7.9.

dimesio, thank you for your answer.

I tried to install wine 1.7.9, but it didn't solve the problem.
Desktop effects are not enabled, so looks like it's not an issue either.

Any guess what else could cause the problem?

I am not sure why, or if it is connected to your problem. But in my system I have to execute this command to reset some of the xrdb values to see the wine fonts correctly as in the rest of the system. If do not execute this line fonts appear fairly differently (and hurt my eyes).

Code: Select all

xrdb -query | grep -vE 'Xft\.(anti|hint|rgba)' | xrdb

So I start wine programs with a script that contains, among other:

Code: Select all

xrdb -query | grep -vE 'Xft\.(anti|hint|rgba)' | xrdb
wine program.exe

etwineb, thank you for your answer.

I tried the xrdb command, but it didn't help. Probably my issue is not related to fonts.
