Writer screenshot showing white rulers
Writer 4.4.2 in dark high contrast mode |
||
same in Linux @Jernej, Please review a current build of LibreOffice master 4.3.0.0alpha ( http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ), this issue no longer appears to be valid with some recent work done on bug 71511 If it is functioning as it should (I believe it is), please set resolved fixed. I installed build 3f150d2601a5eaec579816bc30a19fc4a446d571, but as far as I can see, the problem is partially still there. Welcome screen is mostly fixed (the majority uses the system background colour, and green sidebar isn't nearly as annoying as white in 4.1), but the rulers are still white, and I can't find any way to change their colour. When I opened Writer, it also defaulted to white document background and light-gray background outside the document area, but at least I was able to fix that - it would've helped if the "Color setting" dropdowns in Appearance included Windows' system colours, instead of requiring me to first define them manually in Colors; letting me choose an icon theme other than "High contrast" would've been nice as well (should I open separate bug reports for this?). @Jernej, Any improvement for you if you navigate to Tools -> Options -> Accessibility: options for high contrast appearance. And check on either the 'Automatically detect high contrast mode of operating system', and maybe also 'use automatic font color for screen display'? I tried both of those options, but they seem to only affect the document background when it's set to Automatic (Application background set to Automatic is still white). ** Please read this message in its entirety before responding ** To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa Thank you for your help! -- The LibreOffice QA Team This NEW Message was generated on: 2015-05-02 Created attachment 115277 [details]
Writer 4.4.2 in dark high contrast mode
As of 4.4.2, the problems I described are mostly fixed.
There's still a problem with the ruler - while it's background now follows the system colour scheme (when "Automatically detect high-contrast mode of operating system" is selected; I still don't know what the other two options do), the colour used for notches is too dark, and the numbers are still black (and thus invisible). See the attached image.
I also noticed a problem in Calc: if "Automatically detect high-contrast mode of operating system" is not selected (and thus document colours should be used), background colours are ignored, and all cells appear white (text colours are applied normally).
Migrating Whiteboard tags to Keywords: (a11y -> accessibility) Yes the ruler was changed in 4.4 by kendy, so lets close this as the initial issue has been solved. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.4#Changes_to_rulers Regarding the issue of which colors the ruler elements should take from the theme, there are a few bug reports that are available about that issue (bug 90214, bug 86617). |
Created attachment 67354 [details] Writer screenshot showing white rulers Problem description: Background colour on the welcome screen and the background of rulers in Writer and Draw appear to be hardcoded to white, and there doesn't seem to be any way to change them. This seems to have been introduced in 3.6 - I don't remember seeing these problems in 3.5 and earlier. Steps to reproduce: 1. Set a high-contrast colour scheme in Windows with dark background and bright text 2. Run LibreOffice 3. Create a new text document or drawing Current behavior: Background on welcome screen is (nearly) white, background of rulers is white. Expected behavior: Colours follow Windows colour scheme. Also, a suggestion for the colour preferences: include Windows scheme colours in the drop-down selectors.
