------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed May 20 14:23:56 +0000 2009 ------- My proposal on this: How things are visible enough/nice/ugly is depending of the user's point of view. -> Thus the selection color should not be hard-coded as it is now but flexible. 1. Use the selection color of the system theme. There is always complains about "OOo doesn't respect my theme": Mac OSX, Win XP/Vista, Gnome, KDE... and so on. Where this is possible, we should get the system color. 2. Possibility to change the color inside OOo Like a lot of other UI colors, the Selection color should be present under "Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Appearance" so that the user has the opportunity to change that System setting in OOo for a particular work. 3. [Nice to have] Possibility to set a Transparency level under "Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Appearance" 4. [Nice to have] A mix of transparency AND the good old ugly inverse video selection. I think the new selection has been mainly introduced for aesthetic reasons. That's fine! But the old inverse video selection was offering a better contrast, had more visibility. Why not change the selected content's color (the text) when selection color and text reach a certain contrast ratio (luminance)? So that we can ovoid black on black, blue on blue and so on... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
