Description Maria Tishkova 2011-10-27 08:06:35 UTC 
The text RUN FAILED .... is red on white background with a contrast ration of 3.4:1. It needs to be at least 4.5:1. Using a darker red would solve the problem.


You can use this tool to calculate the ratio:
http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/contrast-analyser.html

Text and images of text have a luminosity contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1. Large scale text has a minimum ratio of at least 3:1. Inactive user interface components, and decorative text, have no minimum ratio. This may be accomplished as the default color scheme of the product, or by providing the capability for a user to select colors that meet these requirements either in the product itself, the browser, and/or the operating system.


Need to change Color.red to new Color(235, 0, 0) to fix it in 
class TerminalInputOutput.TermErrWriter

Comment 3 Thomas Preisler 2011-10-27 19:56:38 UTC 
Improved fix: let the user be able to override/choose the color of the error text in Options/Misc/Term. He can change foreground, background and selection colors but not error color. Why not also error text color?
