Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-689:
--------------------------------------
Another small change proposed: by default we use the font "Verdana 11", but
with higher resolutions etc, what do you think on using "Verdana 12" instead ?
I just tried on Windows 7 and the text seems (a little higher, ok :-) ) better.
But currently I'm not able to make some test in other platforms (even Windows
XP), someone is able to do these check for me ?
Unless objections I can commit this small change so you can test, and if needed
we can then revert ...
Last, under Terra we have some examples of skin configuration files, but I
guess if someone really used these files ... and now (with changes of this
issue) they could not be so visually good; so I'm thinking to move them into
our demos subproject, unless objections in a few days.
And maybe add even a new combination derived from Twitter Bootstrap default
colors (used in many sites), could be for Pivot Applications/Applets to better
visual integration with them.

> 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 -
> dark.launch, KitchenSink - Dark.launch, pivot689.patch
>
>
> 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).
