It's working now, nothing to do with my perfect eyes
I have shitty ears (half deaf), but the eyes are great. I just have to set the monitor at a really low brightness, which obscured the difference in icon color before. My dad even complained how dark it was. However, as said: it is working now.
Btw.. us lot.. I meant to say "the USA folks" mostly, since I do notice a long quiet period after I have read everything in my morning
