| yaili_ | hi o/ | 11:17 |
| yaili_ | wondering if anyone has a moment to give me some quick feedback on some colours? | 11:17 |
| Pendulum | yaili_: sure, I can look at things :) | 11:17 |
| yaili_ | Pendulum: cool, I'm just going to upload a quick example | 11:18 |
| yaili_ | ok here's the image: http://ubuntuone.com/22qGrDrZRaupHzUDCBUxv2 - you might have to zoom in to see 100% size | 11:21 |
| yaili_ | we're basically trying to see if it's feasible to use the Warm Grey colour on text and buttons | 11:21 |
| yaili_ | or if we should look into a darker grey for secondary information, etc. | 11:21 |
| Pendulum | at 24 and 36 it's okay for me, but I would question the 24px text working for anyone with low vision | 11:23 |
| Pendulum | on the button the 24px was okay | 11:23 |
| Pendulum | AlanBell: do you want to have a look as well? | 11:24 |
| AlanBell | o/ yaili_ | 11:24 |
| AlanBell | the reversed buttons look okish, but maybe they seem like greyed out deactivated buttons | 11:26 |
| AlanBell | for body text it would be better to have a darker grey or black | 11:27 |
| AlanBell | as long as ctrl+mousewheel resizes and reflows the text then the size is fine | 11:28 |
| yaili_ | thanks | 11:29 |
| yaili_ | yeah we're studying the possibility of using the grey on deactivated buttons | 11:30 |
| yaili_ | maybe not exactly like that, but where the grey is the background somewhow | 11:30 |
| AlanBell | that seems fine, as a general principle the lower the contrast the less important it is, so body text you have to read lots of should be the most readable, deactivated buttons can be quite faded. Sometimes buttons become higher contrast when you hover over them. | 11:36 |
| yaili_ | ok, what if for example there was a news headline but the date below it was in this grey | 11:37 |
| yaili_ | bad idea? or acceptable in your opinion? | 11:37 |
| AlanBell | fine imho | 11:37 |
| yaili_ | great, thanks for your feedback, very helpful indeed :) | 11:38 |
| yaili_ | do you mind if I add a summary of these thoughts on the design blog? would be good to explain our thinking, if anyone else needs this information | 12:10 |
| phillw | Fudge: not on here, but I looked up further on a couple of articles and VCAG v2 is now seen as 'best practice' even though still officially draft :) | 13:01 |
| Fudge | gr8 phillw glad | 13:07 |
| phillw | it's a relief to our web-dev team to know that they can use the v2! | 13:07 |
| Fudge | is this the switcher doing this or something else, precise shift alt tab just repeats the focused application | 22:42 |
