Package: gnome-themes-standard
Version: 3.8.0-1
Severity: wishlist
Please reinstate the HighContrastInverse theme.
The solution the GNOME developers propose in the changelog of using
a compositor for inversion fails from a usability standpoint for the
reasons analogous to why fiddling with their DPI isn't a substitute for
changing font sizes. (Being able to have a consistent color scheme for
all standard widgets without distorting all colors in an application is
important. Imagine if you couldn't change colors of text in a webpage
without affecting the colors of all the images.)
Second, compositing may not be available on all platforms, and making a
vital accessiblity feature depend on it is not the most wonderful thing
in the world when providing it is so trivial.
Thank you very much.

I am closing this bug because there is a gtk3 version of the
HighContrastInverse theme. The latest version of GNOME Tweaks
(formerly GNOME Tweak Tool) lets you easily switch to it. That version
is available in Debian Testing "Buster".
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
