Summary: default current error highlight color in output window is very faint

Description David-john Burrowes 2001-11-06 00:57:08 UTC
The output window has a grey background, and uses a slightly darker grey to highlight the text of the current error.  The difference between these two 
greys seems too subtle to me, and I think it would be better if there were a more distinct color used for this highlight.

Necessary input from UI team:
- propose solution and reassigne back, thanks in advance.
Comment 10 Bruce Lee 2002-07-26 16:51:39 UTC
Suggested colors:

current error color on windows with white background:
217,217,217

last error color on windows with gray background:
180,180,180

Note: the addition of the To Do list that Tor is working on may affect
this issue and issue # 17323. These should be reexamined when To Do
List is implemented.
Comment 11 _ gtzabari 2004-07-21 16:44:23 UTC
You should schedule this enhancement for 4.0

It is almost impossible to read anything in the output window. You
can't possibly ship with this.
Comment 12 Marian Mirilovic 2006-09-25 10:50:33 UTC
The core team has not been responsible for terminal emulator for long time, so
reassigne all opened issues to responsible person.
Comment 13 Ondrej Langr 2007-12-21 15:13:26 UTC
I checked in 6.0 and error highlighting colof (164,0,0 in RGB) is clearly readable.

I don't know who fixed it, but closing as fixed.
Comment 14 Quality Engineering 2008-12-23 08:12:06 UTC
