WinCl High Contrast White - showing exceptions
Jennifer, you cannot look at cheat sheets in isolation. Cheat sheets are based on forms so a number of color choices (title, twistie etc.) are coming directly from forms. The colors that cheat sheets have control over are mostly item backgrounds. New background colors to improve readability is a good idea but it is too late in the 3.2 cycle to be making UI changes. I'd like to see this happen in the next version of Eclipse. (In reply to comment #7) > Jennifer, you cannot look at cheat sheets in isolation.

The backgrounds are what I want to control as per the original bug description: I have specified these backgrounds properly - see step background spec attachment. We have now addressed the backgrounds in all the themes, including exceptions. Changing the step background colors in the default will have a positive impact on improving readbility in high contrast modes. Readability in high-contrast mode is another open bug at the moment: #75128. Our next phase will address the form color to improve readability of the cheatsheet titles and visibility of twisties - again part of bug #75128. Created attachment 38523 [details]

Fixed in HEAD. The active step is now has a background with higher contrast than the inactive steps. This is definitely an improvement to the appearance. |
