Standalone changes objects background color from white to black

Ullstein's icon

opening a text-object in a standalone the background is black and the type is white, although in the original patch it is background white, text black.

Any idea how to keep the white background and black text in a standalone?

I don't use system newer than 10.3.
If this does not work, it might be privileges problem.
both screenshots show messages to Max which do work in Max 8
and set Max Preferences for the text object.
