When I launch Minefield with high contrast mode enabled it seems to work but not when I toggle it while Minefield is already open. Steve, does this match your experience?  This works in Firefox 3.6.

Hi Matthew, you are absolutely right, it was just me being extremely dumb and not checking if a page refresh fixes it, in my defence I was fooled by IE which does not require a page refresh.

aplologies for wasting your time.

Isn't this still a regression that high contrast mode doesn't take effect if it is changed when Firefox is open?  In Firefox 3.6 the change does take effect right away.

in this case yes but any user I have known that requires high contrast mode has it enabled by default so the issue would never arise for them.
