Some visual bugs in the 20210714 update #18

Closed LeFloatyPancake closed 2 years ago

LeFloatyPancake commented 3 years ago

This was tested on Nautilus 40.2 and Skeuos-grey-light

I have been comparing the latest release (20210714) with the previous one (20210706) and I found some visual glitches. Please see the image below.

Edit: I did further testing on other GTK apps such as font-manager and gnome-system-monitor. There seems to be an issue with highlight background of selected item and the contents inside it being almost unreadable in the 20210714 update.

Hi! Yes I notices it just after pushing the new release :sweat_smile: I'm already working on it Thanks for the report btw :heart:

Hello again! I've pushed a new update to github which should fix these issues. I've made the selected color a bit more contrasted but I do want to keep this new design as for me it looks way more modern than using a solid color. If you can give me extra feedback that would help me a lot :wink: Thank you!

Thanks for the notif. I expanded the testing of the latest updates to blue, yellow, and cyan variants for light themes. The softer selection bg does seem lighter on the eyes as I was testing it on geary and evolution with some variants such as cyan and grey having a selected bg that blended to close to the background behind it (might just be my wonky vision).

Anyway I found other things that could use some readability tweaks as can be seen on the screenshots below. The theme used here was the latest skeuos-blue-light. GTK Widget Factory did not really give me much to differentiate so I used nautilus, gnome system monitor, and font-manager.

Edit: Cycled between the focused/unfocused windows in the screenshots

The UI fixes for nautilus worked like a charm. Thanks again.

I've been doing more tests to see if they can be fixed with some CSS tricks, but seems I'll have to revert that changes :cry:
