I'll push back a bit on this point. Long-time users can probably learn to recognize blue as the new highlight color with minimal fuss. People with colorblindness can't see the red, no matter how hard they try. Being able to customize to something you can see is an improvement, but still a barrier compared to having the default be universally-accessible. > Do you have experience with MS Office? > how do they deal with colorblind issues? I fired up the VM to check MS Excel 2003 -- they use two strategies: 1) each cell turns a different color, and red is fourth on the list (like checking out existing formulas in Calc, but for formula construction as well, each cell gets outlined with a different color). First up: blue. but more usefully: 2) they use redundant coding. Color is not the only component of the highlighting. Each highlighted cell gets the "marquee" dancing-dashes highlight while it's the most-recently selected one, and they also use four bold square handles at the four corners of each highlighted cell/range. The handles may be a little less elegant, but even with hard-to-see colors they make it pretty dang obvious. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
