Thank you for pointing out the PR which causes the regression.

Since Notepad++ 8.8, the background color of the text of the Find In Files progress dialog doesn’t match anymore the color of the dialog itself.

It was not the case on Notepad++ 8.7.9 or earlier.

I can confirm, thanks for reporting it.
(seems to be a regression caused by this v8.8 GitHub commit)

Thank you for the great editor Notepad++ is.

Since Notepad++ 8.8, the background color of the text of the Find In Files progress dialog doesn’t match anymore the color of the dialog itself.

It was not the case on Notepad++ 8.7.9 or earlier.
I didn’t find another dialog than this one that shows the same problem.

I also noted the issue does not exist with Dark Mode, it is specific to default Light Mode.

FYI: there was a bug/regression in the Shortcut Mapper that started in v8.7.6 (with my updates to that feature), as reported by @mkupper here and in issue #16491.

It’s not specific to v8.8, but I mention it here because, so far, v8.7.5 has remained the last version triggered for auto-update, and the bug thus hasn’t spread widely; but if you trigger auto-update on v8.8, then it will likely be quickly noticed and complained about.

I have submitted PR #16492 to fix this bug.

It’s up to you whether or not to trigger auto-update on v8.8 – but if it were my decision, I would wait for v8.8.1.

This makes it actually look modern and not just thin and hard to differentiate.
Also the settings UI cleanup is a great thing. Hopefully you will find more ways to improve here :-)
