The slider is not unusable, > and one can use Krita Bright theme for better contrast. my point is not that it is unusable, but it seems like a broken feature, and is not achieving the intended effect. My main issue is with the hover over animation which is almost imperceptable. I have a screen capture here that hopefully demonstrates the comparison. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bErfDRO0mhAQmpO1PpmKTL_123R9jVsI?usp=drive_link In terms of usability, I think this is well below the recommended contrast for accessability https://webaim.org/articles/contrast/#sc143 My preference would be to have a lower contrast UI to emphasize the components that I am actually interacting with, like the color selector, while maintaining visual contrast through context sensitivity. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
