The green color is quite OK (still could be lighter, i.e. #77cc66), the blue is too dark (could be #6677cc) (I haven't tested those colors, just think they could be better)
Using white text for highlighted rows The white letters are hard to read on the light background. |

ondra, any ideas? The background color is not a problem, it is actually a common practice to use dark background colors for selection. Please use white text color to achieve good contrast between the text and background whenever the background is colored .. see the attached screenshot demonstrating it (the screenshots only displays some texts in white, but in fact all texts on darker/highlighted background should be white).

Using white text for highlighted rows

The white letters are hard to read on the light background.
If I remember right, we use two different "types" of highlight colors in the issue list: 1) Standard L&F highlight colors for "normal" issues 2) Hardcoded colors (blue&green) for "modified" and "new" issues This problem is caused by the "standard" highlight colors being different on various L&Fs. While on various L&F the highlight background and foreground color are always set to be distinguishable from each other, we only mimic the background color and have the foreground(text) color always white. Tomas, is there feasible solution to: 1) For "normal" issues, mimic both background color & foreground color of standard table selection on given L&F 2) For "new" & "modified" issues use hardcoded green&blue with white text color? fixed changeset : 126121:048462b39a4e author : Tomas Stupka <tstupka@netbeans.org> date : Fri Apr 10 13:42:19 CEST 2009 Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200904150201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/048462b39a4e User: Tomas Stupka <tstupka@netbeans.org> Log: #161570 - Background of the row is too dark Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200905051401) Java: 1.6.0_13; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.3-b02 System: Linux version 2.6.28-11-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) It is still the same as on the original screenshot - when the issue row has a blue/green background, the font is black => REOPENING fixed! changeset : 130981:bfd371aad50d author : Tomas Stupka <tstupka@netbeans.org> date : Tue May 12 10:59:10 CEST 2009 Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200905140201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/bfd371aad50d User: Tomas Stupka <tstupka@netbeans.org> Log: #161570 - Background of the row is too dark Verified. |
