Description Adolfo Jayme Barrientos 2020-06-03 16:36:10 UTC
In e.g. https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-GB/text/swriter/main0103.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN

... headings with and without links are almost indistinguishable since commit https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/help/commit/?id=4d6b5e5f74c50cc440a46fada8fa89ad2f946749.
Comment 1 V Stuart Foote 2020-06-03 19:00:16 UTC
Color contrast is kind of low... just the difference in font weight and URL underline on mouseover distinguishes now.
Comment 2 V Stuart Foote 2020-06-03 19:01:17 UTC
How about keeping the Green of the module or Contents heading?

I preferred the all-green version too, but thought, let’s not undo Olivier’s and Beatriz’ work here. I settled on making links more distinctive by adding a faint underline in the unhovered state. I also removed the unchanging/hardcoded blues and greens from the CSS, now that they’re used to signal Writer and Calc respectively. Opinions?

Why change the donation button colors?

Why making the links <a> color almost unreadable (dim blue)? I hurts my eyes to focus the index and contents text.

> Why change the donation button colors?

Repeating myself: because blue and green are now used to represent Writer and Calc, so the generic slate gray (that was part of the palette; it appeared first in the instruction boxes) was chosen for any UI elements that are not specific to Writer or Calc. The gradient was removed simply because I don’t like it and it doesn’t fit with the design of anything else in the site.

Hm, no I didn’t? Is your display calibrated correctly? The blue is lighter just a notch, as I simply increased the tint, and just when hovering the link, not on normal state.
