sikulix 2.0 api - find text is not working

[Hariharan SP]

Hi,
I am using windows 10 - 64 bit laptop.
I am using sikulixapi2.0 jar. I am using findText method to find a text in present screen using java program. Some times findText method working properly some times not working.
Example: I typed one word in notepad and select that word using ctrl+a , so that word background color change into blue. In that scenario , findText is failed because of the background color changes.
Whether i am didn't select a word using ctrl+a , the word is in normal background color. In that scenario, FindText method works fine without any error. I attached image for your reference.
Not only above scenario, most of the cases findText is not working properly. What can I do for rectify this kind errors.

2.0.0 no longer supported - use 2.0.4

... and see bug 1881240

[Hariharan SP (hariharansp)]

Now i am using sikuli 2.0.4 sikuli jar.
In sikuli version 2.0.4 also findtext is not working.
And I refered bug 1881240 , they mention use findword and findline methods. I also tried that method also, Some texts are not finded as expected.Some texts are with background color thats are not finded and move to exception part.

This is the best result you can get with 2.0.4.

To read a light colored font on darker background (as in your example) there will be an option in version 2.0.5 (you have to wait).
