Suggestion "quoted text" color/contrast

MRRiley · 02-15-2012, 04:48 AM

Adam,

I'd like to suggest that you change the color of text inside of the QUOTE tags. At least on the grey/blue layout, the medium grey is hard to read because there is not enough contrast between it and the not-white quoted text box background.

The quoted text should be changed to match the dominant color of each layout. Blue on the grey/blue... reddish on the red, and greenish on the green...

I'll have my designer look at it so that it doesn't get butchered...

Adam,

Any updates on this? People are beginning to change the text color themselves (smart enough to notice they can) and some are just making the font larger so people can read it (making for some very large quoted text sections, particularly in P&R).

No updates yet, though we should have something by the time our dark style gets launched.
