Created attachment 195974 [details] Screenshot Please see the attached screenshot, running in dark theme mode on Linux's GTK3 version. It shows a couple of issues with that error message: * The lightbulb icon is white on light-sky-blue, so it is nearly invisible due to its poor contrast. * The sky-blue background color is very bright / glaring compared to the rest of the dark theme. It might be worth considering lowering its brightness significantly and making the foreground text white. * Blue might not be the correct color choice in this situation, as it is an error message / failure. Red or orange might be more appropriate? --- Tested on: Version: 24.8.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0bdf1299c94fe897b119f97f3c613e9dca6be583 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Flatpak
Confirmed, but only with 'Sifr (dark)' icon theme. Other icon themes appear fine. Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a05432f02b6441b66addc0f22f1b8444557ac37b CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (10.0 build 19045); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded
I believe the other points, about the sky-blue background color being too bright or potentially not the right color hue at all either, still happen no matter which icon theme is used, no?
Dark blue text on a lighter blue background is very readable on the Windows builds. Also, making the background red or orange would be garish--screaming at the user. It is a result, not an error. IMHO adjust the Sifr dark icon theme but leave the message body alone.
We have four notification/message type colors not only used at the statusbar but also for the infobar. If we mute those in case of dark background, the Sifr Dark icon should work well. Need to check if this has side-effects.
Created attachment 196040 [details] Proposed solution Depending on the dialog background the color is light blue on bright themes (using Sifr icons) or much darker on dark themes (using Sifr Dark). Both take the font color from the dialog, ie. black or white instead of dark blue.
