Adding Ivan to cc, he is maintaining term library, where this would need to be handled. Milos, see if this is still relevant. IMHO reasonable enhancement. Should be easy to do. Jindro, do we want to do this for output? Yes, it would be nice to have this feature. I attached picture how the hyperlink should looks like in non-pressed, mouse pressed and pressed state.

hyperlink states
Jindro, thanks for clarification. a few points. currently we have 2 distinct shades of blue for 'important' and non-important links (compile errors contra warnings), the important one is has more Saturation. the red one is for clicked hyperlinks? in my browser I get red color on links also when I hover over the link with mouse. forgot to reassign again. Can we do something else to distinguish errors from warnings? For A11Y purposes it is generally better to not use only color to distinguish different information. the output window also stops at the first 'important' link (eg. error) it would be nice to have something more to distinguish the imporant from unimportan ones. Milosi, I've checked hyperlink's behavior on Windows XP (Mozilla) and on Mac (Safari, Explorer) and it behaves in way which describes attached picture. In these browsers the hyperlink is red only when it is pressed but not released. After releasing the button the hyperlink becomes purple.On mouse over, a gesture appears. I am going to check the hyperlinks in Output window.

Hyperlinks can now have arbitrary color so it could be confusing to change their colors to reflect activated/visited states. IMHO wontfix. |
