#2864 Pagure theme / page contrast is unfriendly
Closed: Fixed 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by herrold.

The pagure default themeing is low contrast, and unusable under Sec 508 / w3c 'contrast ratio' recommendations section 1.4.3

I know from using another browser (FF) that there is a drop box, a search box, and the + sign there, but they are invisible under qupzilla

I have older eyes, and simply cannot see the content

not Fun, not Fedora Friendly

You do know there are nicer way to ask for improvements right?

I'm using the default theming, in firefox and never saw this. Now that it's reported someone can look into it but it's not nice to be asked in such a way.

I do know how to file a neutral tone bug ... but was in a meeting at the same time

Please accept my apology for the tone of the add on comment

Thanks.

To reproduce the issue, I should use qupzilla and change something or are the default for qupzilla enough to reproduce?

in light of the FF Mr Robot loss of trust I compiled a local candidate and it is absolutely stock settings

[herrold@centos-7 ~]$ rpm -q qupzilla
qupzilla-1.8.6-3.orc7.x86_64

hm, I just installed qupzilla-2.2.2-1.fc27.x86_64.rpm from the repo and I'm seeing the same theme as in FF: http://img.susepaste.org/39437044

As you know this is a substantially later version. I am trying to 'solve' getting the Fedoraproject / RawHide 'latest' to build on my C7 primary workstation (along with midori and epiphany, so I may sensibly migrate off FF)

The 508 / w3c contrast items still apply, as does w3c non-validation of emitted html, of course

I just wanted to add that it isn't just certain browsers that the menu is too low contrast for. I use firefox and the menu is also very low contrast there and not friendly for people with visual impairments. The fix is to simply make the text darker.

Edit: I think the issue with herrod's browser is it not supporting css3 gradients, so it uses the darkest color in the gradient for the background. I think its possible to set fallback css syling for browsers that don't support gradients.

here is a stack on fallback css: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16893804/css3-fallback-for-older-browsers#16893979

https://pagure.io/pagure/pull-request/2944# has been fill to fix this issue if folks want to test it :)

CSS not working on FF now -- qupzilla is better, although the top bar is quite dark

It has been applied in git but not deployed yet :)
