Thanks for the advice I didn’t know that about the red background on Win 10 although I must admit I never really needed to look for that feature
I use BYEOS classic version ( best darn capture software for DSLR users !!! ) and comes with a choice of background skins ( I use red )
Later this year I’m taking the plunge and upgrading to a OSC Camera and have test trialed the acquisition software APT ( Astrophotography Tool ) which also gives you a choice of background skin colour like red

My astro Laptop is a HP Omen 15” i7 32Gb ram and also gives you the option of keyboard backlit colour , mine of course is red

Even with all this red background on software programs and red back lit keyboards, my laptop when dimmed down to the lowest level still blasts out the lumens from my little AP outdoor workstation. Most times I have to rotate it away from the OTA to minimise light spill
Artificial light is such a menace even at dark and semi dark sites !!
Thanks again
