Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200903310200) Java: 1.6.0_10; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b15 System: Linux version 2.6.27-14-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) If you select an issue in the query view (in the table), the background colors are too dark, which makes text hard to read. Please use much lighter colors instead. See the screenshot.
Created attachment 79128 [details] 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)
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).

Well, I think this just inverted the problem... :)
Created attachment 79822 [details] 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?
