6 months ago Presented higher contrast border for line tabs at A11y guild meeting.
We will keep the $border-subtle as is. After looking through examples, the higher contrast border makes it harder to quickly see what tabs is selected and creates an unintended stronger hierarchy. We also believe that users would be able to identify a tab group without any border so the border might not be necessary.
The problem
Resources
Issue: https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon-website/issues/3669 Style PDF
Notes:
From @mbgower The visual cue of the tablist relies on the visible line under all tabitems. So I believe that the grey line under the unselected tab items should meet 3:1 contrast.
When that happens, the visual different between the darker grey line and the blue selected line will be negligible; however, the text is in bold, so color is not the only visual designator of selection state.
The solution
Design needs to further investigate how this could potentially affect products and hierarchy of information
First explorations found in Figma
Design considerations: • How will this affect hover and active states? • Does this make it harder to see which tab is selected? • Consider adding in 2px of spacing between tabs if going to change to higher contrast
