Are there any colors that are bad because they "look" like grey to some colorblind users? If not, I think I'd personally prefer dark red over dark blue with dark grey. Another thing you could look at is to make this extra color appear a bit more in the theme than it does now, for example as the background color around the border or for the border itself. That would make it look a bit less "random". In the end it's probably just a question of trying a few things and finding something that looks decent. Leaving it as it is now is also an option of course. Basically I just noticed it and it struck me as illogical.

The problem is that the background color is technically limited to the dark palette, i.e. black, gray, and dark colors. Setting the background of the selection to black is obviously not correct unless we change the foreground color, but I'm afraid only changing the foreground color does not provide enough contrast. Leaving it gray provides confusion about what currently has keyboard focus. That's why I left it blue, which lets the user know which element is selected, but still be different from gray, for less confusion. I don't know if another color would fit better, anybody on the list would have an idea? To test, just boot the mini-ISO on http://brl.thefreecat.org/mini.iso press tab, and type theme=dark Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

OK, but that means that it does not actually "block" the change in cdebconf. That can be uploaded as is. I've just tested the new dark theme as I was testing other things anyway and I must say the new colors look much nicer to me. Basically just plain, quiet black&wite with minor accents. There is one thing that I noticed. If you tab from a selected item in a list to the GoBack button, the selected item gets a blue background. This does not seem to really fit with the theme as a whole. Some (distinguishable) color difference should be preserved though. In the default theme the background of the selected item changes from red to blue (against a white window background). Could you have a look at that Samuel?

Bug#488494: cdebconf: Make the dark theme even more readable
Package: cdebconf
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hello,
The current dark theme of newt does not use bright colors, and sometimes
uses background colors for no real use, leading to less readability.
The attached patch makes a few fixes.
The current text frontend does not have a dark theme, this adds one for
the linux and bterm console cases.
