TYT MD380tools Display Screen Error

[N2AL]

I just updated my TYT MD-380 using the KD4Z - MD380tools-vm Toolkit (v4.40). I ran the flash and flashdb functions, and once complete the screen is having some issues I was not expecting. Instead of the white background with black text, the screen is blue, and the text is white. This occurs when users key their radio and broadcast, and it shows their user information on my screen. It looks like a third grade programmer drew the background in MS Paint.

Can someone instruct me how to change the display screen back to a white background with black text? I sure hope this is not permanent. Thanks everyone and 73!

This is the new screen display after the latest update on MD380tools. Any help to make the screen background white with black text would be great!

No clue but for night work that would be ideal....Mine are both with an older release. I can try to get the new version tomorrow and load mine to see what it does.

My version was about a month old.
If you like the current version I would advise against updating it though. If you do update it please let me know what it does.

Thanks and 73! I look forward to your response.

Thanks for your reply! Are you needing the link to the MD380tools I use, or to TYT’s website?

Good morning and please accept my apologies for taking a few days to respond. My last few days have been quite hectic.

The GitHub link for KD4Z's version of MD380tools is here:
https://github.com/KD4Z/md380tools-vm

I would recommend following the installation instructions I posted on my website. This link has all the installation instructions without a bit of the headache if you miss a step.
