Admin interface usability

Hello...
Is there any way to customize the developer interface in Studio '13? It's challenging to work with such small font on all of the features, as well as the grey lettering on grey background. I would like to be able to make the software usable for someone with a visual disability. I realize the grey shades are very trendy, but they are definitely not friendly for all computer users. We have also found that you can enlarge the window but that doesn't change anything within the window. The font size and working area stay the same.
Thanks!

Hi Ann,
Just curious, have you tried modifying the resolution for your machine/monitor? Perhaps a lower setting (which makes objects larger on your screen) would help.
Also, depending on your operating system, you may be able to change the color of windows and sections of windows running on your machine.
The options for both of those suggestions will vary depending on your operating system. However, I'm going to share the links below, just in case:
Microsoft: Change screen resolution
Microsoft: Change colors on your computer
Change the appearance of Office programs - PowerPoint
I hope this helps!
Thanks, Christine. Those are good suggestions, but unfortunately not a help. The problem is only with Articulate. The rest of PowerPoint displays fine.
And here's what just started displaying this morning. The text in Quizmaker and Engage slides inserted into the PPT appears with drop shadows.
Hi Ann!
I have never seen this happen before.
Would you be able to package your project and submit it to us to look into.
Thanks, Leslie. I have just created case 00396256 and uploaded the package.
Thanks for the update Ann I see where Karla is assisting you. I will follow along as well.
Just following up and wanted to update anyone that may come across this thread. Looks like Ann's file had some corruption that was able to be corrected by re-using the slides in a new presentation.
