Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-689: -------------------------------------- Committed revision 1619713 (and a small simplification if 1619715): add defaultBackgroundColor and defaultForegroundColor in Terra Theme json config file (to be able to set them) with a good fallback value. Note that even in general Theme there are (general) default values for them. As a sample, add some (very visible: red, and yellow) values for them. Now I guess if it would be useful to define these values even in TerraTheme_default.json (and maybe even in TerraTheme_dark.json) files, for two reasons: - have a sample of its usage (without having to look at code), for our users - check if change these values, at least in the TerraTheme_default.json file (to reduce the whitening effect just seen) ...

And use a similar > (yellow-ish but a different color index, if possible) color on warnings. > I could adapt a little that color in all Pivot palettes to look similar to > what should be ... tell me. > For example, someone remember the background color in Swing Tooltips (ok not > the best in graphic design and colors :-) ), but with this little change we > could also have this little feature, where in most palettes will be > yellow-ish, but where needed could be different. > Added some documentation in the Terra package JavaDoc file on color palette > usage in the Terra Skin, to help anyone wants to write their custom colors, > and then removed, probably the best place for this is in a Tutorial. > Last, in ColorSchemeBuilder (and maybe even in the Kitchen Sink), add some > Tooltips to see how they happen, but see where they makes sense. > And maybe in ColorSchemeBuilder move some elements in the Tab2 or Tab3, > grouping them by similar components (some componets should be added there). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
