fix(apps): Tweaks to improve the Firefox tab line color in Groovy #514

Closed isantop closed 3 years ago

This unfortunately affects all of Firefox, so we also darken the color so enable it to have somewhat acceptable contrast. It is confined to Firefox though.

DO NOT DELETE THIS BRANCH AFTER MERGING, as the same branch is going into #513 and #515

This gets the accent colors back. Contrast seems like it might be a little too low in the dark theme:

GNOME Contrast puts it around a 1.6:1 contrast ratio, where the light theme's at a more tolerable 3.3:1. Can contrast be improved further in the dark theme?

jacobgkau commented 3 years ago

Our GNOME Terminal theme uses the light theme's highlight background (#48b9c7) against a white foreground color for highlighted text, and the web content portion of Firefox already uses the light theme instead of the dark theme, so if we were to use the light theme's highlight background within Firefox even in the dark theme, that would not be unprecedented.

The other alternative for Pop!_OS would be to ship a default CSS file for Firefox to override the highlight and/or text colors, instead of relying only on the GTK theme, since Firefox's own theming seems to allow more control than what it reads from the GTK theme.

@jacobgkau I set the background color to #48b9c7 as you suggested. The contrast is a bit iffy, but that was definitely not an okay contrast in the dark theme with the previous color.
