Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-689:
--------------------------------------
Just cleaned up a few (unnecessary) override in colors in sample_content.bxml
(loaded by ColorSchemeBuilder), and note that if I change the styles of
ScrollPane (of Tab 1) from backgroundColor:null, for example to something very
visible like backgroundColor:'#ff0000', I see what is really causing a lot of
whitening there ...
Then, the second issue is related to the second color of default palette too
much white (if I try to lowering it, i see things inside the tab, darkening as
background, ok) ... now we could think to adjust a little that color (for
example from 255,255,255 to 250,250,250 or similar, and the same for first
color 0,0,0 to 5,5,5); I can look at old (2.0.x) appearance and try to get a
similar visual result.
Last, after these changes I still see some areas white at top and bottom left
(probably it's the default skin backgound color, but now it's configurable :-)
) ... I'll make some checks even on this, and if it is, I think it would be
good to add a default even for this in skin default config file like the
previous ...
Now I can make some tests, commit "safe" changes, and add an updated screen
shot here ...
What do you think ?

> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: wtk-terra
> Reporter: Sandro Martini
> Assignee: Sandro Martini
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1, 2.0.5
>
> Attachments: ColorSchemeBuilder - dark.launch, ComponentExplorer -

>
>
> Finishing touches on Skin Colors, some info here (and more later here in
> JIRA): https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-579
> See if even the final part of this (not implemented) could be useful:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-245
> And there was another discussion (I have to find where, in nabble) is change
> some color index usage to have better visual appearance (of course
> retrofitting existing behavior when/if possible).
> Note that probably after these little changes, custom color json files should
> be a little updated.
> And a little thing on this:
> now only Tooltips doesn't use a palette color (they use an hard-coded color)
> ... what do you think to make them use the yellow-ish color at
> palette index 19 (or one of is variants, the 18 or 20) ? 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).
