This is most likely a problem with TT Deep Dark, but I can't get rid of the preferences that is doing this.

What I have done so far is:

Uninstall, Reinstall

Change Text Background Color

Remove TT Deep Dark theme, set original theme as default

Unchecked box use system colors.

What do you have for Tools/Options/Display/Formatting/Colors (see picture)? Maybe you have to change the override setting.

Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor, right-click a preference, Modify, for these prefs.:

msgcompose.background_color msgcompose.text_color

Black = #000000, white = #FFFFFF

Also, double-click the pref. msgcompose.default_colors to false.
