One way to address this going forward is for theme developers to check their color selections against the e.g. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/)
Using a readily available tool: https://leaverou.github.io/contrast-ratio/ And/or one that makes suggestions of contrasting colors for a palette: http://colorsafe.co And all themes could be subject to passing at a minimum contrast grade (AA seems not too hard?) before being added to the core. And in that way we have a standard of 'good enough' that is more widely accepted than 'works on my machine, for my eyes, in this physical space, with this ambient lighting' Paul HilaireFernandes wrote > Hi, > > So in Pharo5 we have these 'beautiful' unreadable tooltips: tiny black > font on light gray (ie. take a look to its squeak counter part, it looks > so much more pro) > > Is there a way to programmatically change the backround color? > > Thanks > > Hilaire > > -- > Dr. Geo > http://drgeo.eu -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/These-beautiful-tooltips-tp4932206p4932319.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
