Also if I right clicked in the DO minimised taskbar icon in the system tray to open or exit DO it was greyed.
13.6 is a month old now. Did this only just start happening with it installed for a while, or were you on 13.5 until now?
I would try turning off Dark Mode and resetting to the default dark or light themes as well, in case color settings or dark mode itself are involved.
Screenshots of what you see may help understand what's going on.
So sorry I meant the new beta 13.6.7. Gone back to 13.6.6.
Tried what you suggested. Turning off dark mode and saving it, Preferences are displayed fine then switching it back on I cannot see the text on the Preferences tab.
We haven't had any similar reports about 13.6.7 so far.
Could we see screenshots of what it looks like in light and dark modes?
Will do, later. Where are the old betas? Would like to try others
Thanks Leo. Below you can see versions 13.6.7 & 13.6.6. 13.6.7 has the issue of blacking out the text. I tried taking off dark mode, nice and clear without dark mode but as soon as it's reapplied it is blacked out again if unselected by the mouse pointer. This is not the case with any of the previous betas. BTW Using Windows 11 23H2.

I can't access either google drive link (permission denied error).
Screenshots can be dropped on posts directly; no need for external hosting.
Have you tried going to Preferences / Display / Themes and double-clicking the Default Dark theme, in case the dark mode colors are just messed up?
No I didn't. Will reinstall 13.6.7 now & see if that solves it
Didn't resolve it! It did on the Default Dark theme. That is ok. But I am have been using the Black 20200402 theme I downloaded!
So the problem only happens with that custom theme? And only in the menus? (You mentioned Preferences being unreadable before, but we haven't seen a screenshot of that yet.)
It looks like the theme is changing the menu text color to black.
Where can we find a copy of the theme?
Thanks. The screenshot of Preferences being blacked out, is the first image above your post.
It was in the dark theme downloads linked from Do forums. It darkens also the system tray icon as well.
This is the theme Black Theme
I love this theme and will keep to 13.6.6 until I or anyone else can assist in resolving the blacked-out items.
Thanks very much @Hardkorn - that did it!!
Was having the same issue with the default dark mode on 13.6.7. Enabling "Use visual styles" fixed the issue for me also. Also ticking the Text: box on the same pref screen and selecting a colour there work for me as well.
Thanks, everyone! We've found the cause and have a fix coming in the next beta.
(Until then, the workarounds mentioned above are good.)
Thanks Leo.
Can confirm 13.6.8 has fixed this issue without using any of the workarounds on my config. Thanks Leo.
Yes. Now works fine again without any workaround. Thanks to the team
