The debugging tools and window are invaluable but on my machine (MacOS 26.2.2 in "dark mode" the debug window is very difficult for my aging eyesight...
is there a way to increase the contrast or change the colors ?
I just updated my test Mac to 26.2.2 and the debug window is the correct colors (white on black, no grey background).
Is this the current version of Keyboard Maestro?
I have no idea why it is displaying differently for you.
Have you tried activating
System Settings → Accessibility → Display → Increase Contrast?
Alternatively you could just Reduce Transparency (right below Increase Contrast)
This turns the debug window black. (Sorry, german system in the gif.)

the checker says this is the current edition. Ralph's suggestion to Reduce Trasparency helps a whole lot

Thanks Ralph. Reducing Transparency does the trick!
It does seem likely.
.... and even mort thanks to Ralph... now I can read my mail more easily too... I guess the 'featrue' of Liquid Glass is great for the young at sight ![]()
Thank you! I'm glad I could help.
You can make translucency toggling very simple: There's a Shortcuts action that does it.
This replaces a much more complex macro I used to use to toggle translucency; just create that shortcut and assign it a keyboard shortcut.
(Note that I refuse to call it "Reduce Transparency," because you can't reduce transparency. By definition, transparency is defined as letting 100% of the light through without any changes. You can reduce translucency, though, as that's defined as allowing some but not all light to pass through. I filed a bug on this years ago, but Apple ignored me :)).
