Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Hi Please don't hardcode the colors of the new and unread articles in the article list (red and blue), and the color of the number of unread messages in the feed list (blue). These colors should probably be configurable. They are really hardly readable with my color scheme (that's why a bug, not a wish). Actually I experienced these pure colors to be hard to read with many darker color schemes. I'm using akregator from KDE SVN 3.5 branch, Beta 2 probably.
I wouldn't call this a bug but a usability problem. No color should be hardcoded, especially when this color has a more than cosmetic purpose. These colors (blue and red) should be either configurable or totally removed. A bold font would be enough, or else the icons from the "Status" combobox (the envelope with or without a star) could be always visible in the messages list (and not only the eventual flag "important"). The same applies to the number of new messages in the feeds list. Akregator 1.2.1 (Using KDE 3.5.1 Level "a" SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED)
The colors black and red are not distinguishable for me on white background, because i am red-green blind, like almost 5% of the male population. I always have to use status filters to spot new articles. Pleeease, make these colors configurable.
SVN commit 577096 by osterfeld: do not hardcode colors in article list. Make them configurable now with hardcoded defaults, as soon as the new extended color scheme with colors for unread and new is in place, these defaults will be used. This is KDE4 only, I will request to add it for 3.5.5, too. BUG: 116079 M +9 -0 akregator.kcfg M +9 -3 articlelistview.cpp M +2 -0 articlelistview.h M +3 -0 mainwidget.cpp M +1831 -25 settings_appearance.ui
