Hi,
We use VS2022 17.10.9 in dark mode with Visual Assist 10.9.2547 and IncrediBuild 10.21.1.
We have been chasing rendering bug in the Batch Build window of the IncrediBuild extension. The text does not appear in the dialog at all, unless the window is resized. Then, when the cursor does mouse over the text, it will disappear again. The problem only appears in dark mode.
We finally found that the root cause may be Visual Assist. Disabling the extension (either from the extension list, Enable/Disable VA option) or just disabling VA "Enhanced syntax coloring" option makes the problem in the IB extension goes away.
Do you have an idea why VA would have an interaction with that particular extension window? |

How have you set dark mode?
After several hours of fighting with this, I finally have Incredibuild installed and showing up as an extension in VS2022. But the batch build dialog is never shown in a dark colour scheme. VS2022 version 17.12.3 and version 17.31.1. I have also checked VS2017 and VS2019.
I have also restarted the IDE and rebooted after applying dark mode, in case Incredibuild requires this before registering the change of display theme.
I am not seeing any sign of an Incredibuild setting to change its colour scheme separately. |

Try v 10.21.1 from here and not from the IB version that is shipped with VS: https://docs.incredibuild.com/site_landing/download_docs_center.htm
The latest version of IB should also exhibit this behavior (I spoke with IB devs yesterday) but I did not tested it myself.
The dark mode was introduced in IB 10.18. You can set it in the Agent Settings, General, Color Theme.

Thank you, with the colour scheme set I am now seeing the problem:
case=165571
For now, the rather obvious work around would be to keep Incredibuild set to a light theme. |
