[Bug 8] Option: Change the background color (texvc)
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8 ✓ changed: What|Removed |Added CC||andbe...@web.de --- Comment #24 from ✓ 2010-09-16 19:13:56 UTC --- As there are already settings in [[Special:Preferences]] for TeX, it should be easy to add an option for white background. The default has to be transparent! As referring to comment 9, when IE5 was dead in 2007, what is it today? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

As far as I can determine, neither the software defaults nor the Wikimedia configuration will be changed to a transparent value in the foreseeable future, as long as IE6 is an issue. Although of course, ultimately that's not my decision alone. It would be worth considering a further change that would use binary transparency by default on the parts that are completely transparent. This would reduce the solid white background to a white halo, which would probably look better, and it would work in all browsers. I don't know how to do that, but I'm sure it's possible. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

As of r59550, it's possible to change the background color on a per-
basis using \pagecolor and \definecolor.

The problem with transparent math backgrounds is IE6 at this point.
Black-on-black styles isn't a problem, since the style can just do .tex {
background: white } to get the same display as now (in non-IE6 browsers). But
alpha transparency doesn't work on IE6, and it's not acceptable to degrade
display of all math articles for 15% of our users, for the sake of a tiny
number of users viewing equations outside of mainspace, or otherwise on
non-white backgrounds.
If someone can come up with a PNG transparency fix for IE6 that doesn't degrade
performance or otherwise cause problems, even on pages with hundreds of
equations, then we can use that. Otherwise, we won't (IMO) output transparent
backgrounds by default until IE6 falls to, say, <1% market share.
But if someone wants to submit a patch that allows configuration of default
math background color in LocalSettings.php, possibly including an
off-by-default option to make it transparent, that would be fine, which is why
this bug is still open. I'm willing to review it if it's reasonably short (I
shouldn't think it would be more than 20 lines).

I think you can make a good case that administrators should be able to configure this. At a minimum, if they have a non-white background, they may want to configure the background to some non-transparent color other than white. Now, who wants to write a patch?
