[Bug 84614] To low constrast in cons

[Björn Lindqvist]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-themes

This problem occurs in Ubuntu 6.10.

I don't know if this is the right product or where I should file this
complaint, but I hope it is right. Most laptop screens and especially
old laptos, doesn't reproduce colors very well. Especially nuances of
light gray looks indistinguishable from white. gnome-panel and metacity
shades the icons of minimized programs in gray. That makes some icons
almost invisible when they are minimized.

Almost all icons suffer from this problem, but some more than others.
For example, nautilus' and firefox' icons are clearly distinguishable
when they are minimized in gnome-panel and metacity's alt-tab list. But
xchat-gnome and gedit's icons, which are based on the colors white and
yellow, are totally invisible. So either change gnome-panel so that it
shades to darker gray colors or make the worst icons use more
contrasting colors or redraw the lightest icons.
