Menu appearance?

I just installed Lightroom Classic (version 14.5) on my Mac (running Sequoia 15.6).  I find the contents in the Develop menu to be almost impossible to read, as much of the font is black on a dark gray background.  Is there a way to adjust the appearance of the menus?

Correct answer JohanElzenga

Your screenshot looks completely normal to me, and not different from earlier versions. If you are specificly referring to the Lens Blur panel, then note that the text becomes white and so more visible after to have checked the box to actually apply lens blur. Right now it is dimmed because lens blur is not applied.

Johan, thanks for the feedback.  I have not used previous versions of Lightroom, so I don't know how the current version compares to earlier versions.  Nevertheless, I have a very hard time reading most of the contents in the window.  So my question remains as to whether there is any way to alter the appearance of the menu?

No, there is not.

If you are using a recent Beta version of the Mac OS, this is a known issue. Please search the forums for a possible workaround.

 

Otherwise, please copy the information in Help->System Info and paste it into your reply.
