SimpleDatafield & Background colour black

On my vivoavtive 4 I can switch the background colour of an activity from white to black. But once switched to black my SimpleDataField readout cannot be seen anymore, because the default text colour is black too. However the same switch in the simulator shows white numbers on a black background as it should be!

Any Ideas what to do?

SimpleDataField has too many limits for most things.

I’d move away from it as soon as you get your head around things.

It’s like a ready meal versus a recipe book. Both give you the option to feed yourself. Only one lets you make changes.

Also...

You should file a bug report with Garmin. (There is a bug forum here.)

Be sure to include the FW version on the va4, as this sounds like a FW bug, A simple sample to shows the problem is also useful. Maybe just something created with the template in eclipse.
