Item13346: Pattern skin default fonts are too low contrast, especially Raw view.
Priority: Urgent
Current State: Closed
Released In: 2.0.0
Target Release: major
Applies To: Extension
Component: PatternSkin
Branches: master
The font used in the "Raw view" is extremely difficult to read.
The
http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ and
WebAim accessibility guidelines recommend a minimum contrast of 7:1 for AAA rating for small fonts. Our default color of #aaaabb, background #fafafa has a contrast of only 2.19:1
Using grey #565656 will achieve a contrast of 7.03:1 passing accessibility guidlines. and is still grey enough to differentiate it from the edit window.
