** Description changed:
Binary package hint: light-themes
Input boxes color is gray. There are two good reasons for this to be black.
- 1. We should never reduce the contrast of text by default, because it kills
accessibility. A lot of bad monitors are out there which are hard to read
anyway.
+ We should never reduce the contrast of text by default, because it kills
accessibility. A lot of bad monitors are out there which are hard to read
anyway.
- 2. Openoffice uses Input boxes text color by default for document default
text color. If this is gray, all documents will have gray text and gray
formulas. While 50/256 gray is somewhat ok on screen, it produces nasty results
on print (causing rasterised output, which makes all curves jiggly). This is A
Bad Thing™, and definitely worse for the default theme.
- The worst of this is that the gray default color is saved into document and
changing the theme color affects only newly created ones. One could change the
color of Default text style back to black, but if you have formulas, then
these remain gray even after that. AFAIK only workaround for formulas is adding
color black {} to all formulas.

- While we could argue that openoffice shouldn't use input box text color,
but for the first argument I think the theme should be adjusted.

[Bug 574383] Re: Ambiance theme input boxes color gray
No, this would create a bigger mess at bigger scale, just try out the High Contrast Inverse theme (white text on dark blue background). Also I just noticed that the equations are now always black (so the other half of my last comment does not hold anymore, changed the original description as well). So LibreOffice does everything as best as it can now. But I am still conviced that we shouldn't put gray text on light gray background in the default theme. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574383 Title: Ambiance theme input boxes color gray To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/574383/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I will have to mark this as opinion if we can't manage to have libreoffice to use black on ambiance.

[Bug 574383] Re: Ambiance theme input boxes color gray
Hate to say it, but it's even worse since changing that color back to black is now harder than before when we had Gnome 2 and nice dialog for this. Virtually ALL text on screen is gray, half of it on gray background as well, with web and mail being the only exceptions. It makes reading harder. People sometimes use their laptops in sunny rooms, in direct sunlight, they may have poor eyesight, they would like to reduce screen brightness to save battery, etc. In all these mentioned cases having lower contrast is wrong. Actually it doesn't affect exporting to PDF or printing from LibreOffice, text is converted to black. But there is one huge exception, equations still remain gray everywhere. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574383 Title: Ambiance theme input boxes color gray To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/574383/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

While using the Ambiance theme in Natty and previous Ubuntu versions, documents created in LibreOffice / OpenOffice will have its text gray. Therefore, contrast in screen will be lower, and most important, contrast in the printed documents will also be lower, being the text gray instead of black.

I think this *is* a important bug, since it has major drawbacks in printing. Please don't consider this rude, but I will state the problem more clear: * Everybody using default theme will get really printing quality from OpenOffice using default settings. * Until this is fixed in Openoffice, we really should keep the themes using black text.
