Nate Graham <pointedst...@zoho.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |UNCONFIRMED Resolution|WONTFIX |--- --- Comment #6 from Nate Graham <pointedst...@zoho.com> --- Thanks for the comments, everyone. I have to disagree that this is a matter of subjectivity or taste--this is just my preference and other people might not like it. There are objective, scientifically derived principles governing things like eyestrain and readability: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/low-contrast/ http://www.tinhat.com/usability/color.html http://contrastrebellion.com/ http://universalusability.com/access_by_design/text/contrast.html >From the above articles, you can see that the *most* readable, usable text is 100% black on a not-quite-100%-white background, since pure white can be blinding on bright screens. Breeze is *so close* with the pleasant light gray backgrounds, but the text itself needs to be a bit bolder to reap the rewards of maximum readability. This will not present a "harsh" contrast; on the contrary, it will make the text *more attractive*, not less. Again, this is not my personal preference, but rather the result of decades of hard-earned usability investigation. I encourage you to read those articles. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
