My sunglasses are indeed brown tinted (and polarized), but even without them it
is not easy to read the black text with the dark blue background due to poor
contrast. Light color like yellow or light gray would be much better. I'll open
a ticket.
Thanks,
Ramy

pilots use sunglasses in the cockpit and even blublockers as indicated
by Evan (I personally use blublockers) making things even worse. The
funny thing is we are looking for the brightest sun-readable screen and
then use sunglasses. Oh well, no choice for many of us really, we must
use the sunglasses, it is just too bright outside.

my recommendation is to use a light color for the background, dark text
over it and highlight the selected box/item with a dark border around
the box.
