Grey on dark grey is still not "high contrast". A better solution is more likely to teach the devs what high contrast is.
The Chrome DevTools has a pretty useful feature to test color contrast … https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/accessibility/contrast/#fix-low-contrast Its color picker for text (sometimes) shows whether a color choice meets the AA or AAA thresholds for accessibility guidelines. For an accessibility feature, AA should be met, at the very least. I don't have the exact values so I've only estimated them, but the background color seems like something close to #333 and the foreground color something like #222. I've made a mockup to illustrate the bad readability / visibility with these values: https://codepen.io/woodrowshigeru/pen/NWZMZzL Codepen fails to support the color picker contrast part of the DevTools for some reason ("No contrast information available"). But I get it to work when opening an empty page in the browser with `about:blank` and applying styles directly there. Still, the codepen shows you what I did: * I first created "v1" which seems to be the "grey on dark grey". * Then I chose another foreground color until I surpassed the AA threshold for "v2". * And then I did the same for "v3" / AAA. This is how nicely visible it could be. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2030963 Title: Window/app switcher highlights hard to see To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/2030963/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
