Thanks for this david.

Firstly not relevant I know, but I simply cannot belieeeeeeve adobe has 
gotten away with providing such a ridiculously inaccessibly/poorly coded 
front end flash updater! for, - how many years now? just unbelievable!


Secondly though, I think somehow I've disabled this, or made it autoupdate 
or something,
as I haven't seen it pop up on my machine for a goodish while now.

Do you know if there's a way of forcing it to reappear by any chance?

Problem is with messing with color schemes in windows, is I'd imagine 
optimally you'd kinda need a sightling nearby to indicate what kind of 
contrast difference one's choices actually visually made to that window, 
before running the Convenient OCR test on it.
Would not one?
tricky!
