Description konstantin.ketskalo 2017-05-17 21:03:48 UTC
Description:
Buttons are badly viewed or invisible in high contrast mode (white) on Windows 8.1 64 Enterprise.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Windows 8.1
2. Launch Libre office (writer, calc, whatever)
3. Change theme to high contrast (white)
4. Look at instrunents buttons

Actual Results:  
Some pictures of buttons in upper part of the window are hard to understand what that is. Some are white and can't be seen on the white background, unless you point mouse cursor on it.
I've used white high contrast theme and also I've changed purple to dark green, but it doesn't seem to have effect on it.

Expected Results:
I think users should be able to see buttons in any color scheme. )


Reproducible: Always

Confirming. The LibreOffice "High Contrast" icon set is a bit rough to view on Windows 8, 8.1, 10 with default grey themes--but it is _very_ hard to view with the Microsoft High Contrast White theme.

For the other Microsoft Accessibility themes, our High Contrast icons render visible with the other Microsoft "High Contrast #1", "High Contrast #2" and "High Contrast Black" themes.

Unfortunately, when system DE is set to High Contrast our own High Contrast are locked for use--so I can not check readability of Sifr. But beleive that for the "High Contrast White" MS theme, our Sifr icon set would be more readable than our own High Contrast icon theme.

@Björn, you'd tweaked some of the FG/BG color config for system HC for bug 71511 and noted then the handling for the Icons was a bit off. Any chance of adjusting the AutoDetectSystemHC() so that MS "High Contrast White" specifically uses Sifr rather than our aged High Contrast icon set?

@Jay, the Galaxy based HC icon set is getting a bit long in the tooth--would a rework based on Sifr make sense?

By the way, if you are testing this on Windows--the easiest way to enter and exit the HC mode is with <l-Alt>+<Shift>+<PrtScn> then adjust the Desktop personalize.

I found on my multi-headed system that the HC White would crash the Windows session--but the short-cut at login allows you to disable the System HC.

Yes Sifr HC is intended to replace Galaxy HC.

Not clear to me if this is about menu or Start center, but since there was no response to retest message ,let's assume menu.
