--- Comment #5 from ady <[email protected]> --- FWIW, the colors of the combination of the "border" of the comment indicator, in addition to the comment indicator itself, are aimed at adding some contrast for 3 related characteristics of the cell: * cell content; contrast against (text/number/value) font color, so users can always read the cell's content while still noticing the presence of the comment indicator. * Cell background; when the cell's background color is similar to the comment indicator's color, the indicator's "border" line helps users in noticing the existence of the indicator, as opposed to completely blend with the background. This is the main reason for the existence of the "border" of the comment indicator. * Cell border: similar to the cell background case. When the cell's border has a color that is similar to the color of the comment indicator, the addition of the "border" for the comment indicator helps users to notice that an indicator is present in the cell. The color of the "border" of the comment indicator needs to always have some contrast against the color of the *comment indicator itself*. That way, whichever the case (colors, themes, combination of cell_background+cell_border+font), the comment indicator can be seen as present in a cell (but never bothering nor distracting). So, whether the color of the "border" of the comment indicator is the same or different than the color of any other property of the cell (except the comment indicator itself), is not important, as long as the user can notice that a comment indicator is there. The user should be able to see either the "interior" of the indicator, or the "border" of the indicator, or both. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
