Public bug reported: The HUD options text is in white with a lightly blurred brown background.
This is not really acceptable if the application running in background is showing a white patch area and the HUD options happen to overlap with that area (see attached screenshot for example). I propose the background of the HUD be made less transparent and in a darker shade of brown. Either that or the options displayed is outlined with a black border, and the typeface be made a little bigger. These options can also be combined to improve readability. lsb_release: Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch) Release : 12.04 apt-cache: unity: Installed: 5.1.0-hud2 Candidate: 5.1.0-hud2 Version table: *** 5.1.0-hud2 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity-team/hud/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 5.0.0-ubuntu3 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: hud suggestion usability -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/922665 Title: HUD options displayed is difficult to read if background is white To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/922665/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
