I just installed Elements 6 and the white on black desktop is unreadable in many places.

I have sharp monitors so that I can run them at 1600×1200, and web sites that use white text on black suffer the same fate. I can find alternative sites or enlarge the page in the browser if really needed. But I can not find the settings in PE6 to change the default color scheme. (ACDSee Pro 2 has this same problem, but I was able to change its theme.)

Where do I set the desktop color scheme in PE6? Do earlier versions of PE have this same problem?

check your windows control panel make sure CLEAR TYPE is ON I think IE browser uses this by default so if you have FF or other maybe have to look at options to fix it

I have only got Ps Elements 4, but the workspace has black type on white.
