Hi, Folks
I sure hope someone can help me. My “back” arrow at the very top on the left (follow address bar to the left till you see your own) is so dim I can hardly see it. I feel sure I hit a combination of keys which caused this, but have not been able to find the right one to make it back to bright again.
It’s not a WoW game problem, but it’s aggravating to the point where I have to “guess” where that arrow might be.
Can someone help me, please?
Thanks
What browser are you using?
Sorry Illystra,
It is Google.
Np. I’ve been looking at this problem from Firefox which also has light grey arrows. What I found in Firefox is themes. The default is use what the O/S wants. Firefox lets me disable this default. If I enable ‘dark’ theme, it changes the window from grey/black type on white background, to white on black background. I’m hoping you might have a similar feature in Google Chrome. Hope this helps.
The back button of a browser is usually dim when there is no webpage to go back to. Is it dim on a newly opened tab?
Other than that, I would just change to a brighter theme. Click on the 3 dots on the right → Settings → Appearance → Themes
Illystra and Earthie,
Thanks very much for helping me with this problem and you’re right: it is dim on a new tab, and stays on dim when I check my mail to the point of having to guess where the arrow would be if I could see it. I will try a new theme and report back.
PS: Right now, on the forums, it is dim. The only thing visible is the “refresh”
circle.
Reporting Back: My new “theme” (hoping that is what you meant) is changed to “Turf Green”, but that made no difference. I’m still “guessing”, but it’s not as bad as it was.
What I am doing now is starting at the refresh icon and moving slowly left until I see the faint image of another circle. I click it and the advisory “click to go back, hold to see history” appears, I click on that and it takes me back a page.
I still don’t think I should have to work that hard though, so I did a virus/malware scan and I am fine there.
So that leaves me with the idea that a Windows Update may have caused this. I honestly don’t know, but I did a google search and although there were very few answers, I did try one of them: Place the cursor in the left bottom corner and sweep it upward diagonally to the right top corner. I don’t know what that was supposed to accomplish, but I’ll bet y’all can guess, right?
I appreciate everyone’s help!
hm… try the “high contrast “ theme and see if that helps
you can also try to do a factory reset of the browser: 3 dots → settings → advanced → reset, but you will lose all your saved items
