[wix-users] Transparent hyperlink control bug: white background on dark background

[Christopher Painter]

MSI native UI has some wonky behaviors and I don't know how many of them I even remember anymore.  Many people have moved onto bootstrapper based UI where you can do thinks like WPF MVVM UI  and get as  fancy as DirectX based APIs allow.

When using a transparent hyperlink control on a dark background the control

I would like to know if there is a workaround other than using bitmap
buttons (which can have display problems like outlines or white borders on
some systems when the bitmap isn’t scaled correctly), or putting hyperlinks
at the bottom of the dialog with the Back, Next, and Cancel buttons where
the background is lighter.
Thanks,
