>Actually, no, Apple doesn't do it the way you do, highlight "lays behind" all
of the things.
But the picture itself...? And the text below it (probably not if i got You
right, it is the same gays as non-selected...?)
>I suspect the reason is the high-contrast LCD screens that most people use
nowadays, where the contrast can be actually too much if not set properly...
One more reason against XOR and for transparence.
>However, the inverted selection has no problem there with font antialiasing
(smoothing of edges);
Problem is (when You use a screen zoomer) that e.g. ClearType uses not gray to
smooth characters (as You woud expect in the first thought), but tones of red.
Those do not fit to the inverted scheme well...
> and likewise, text in different colour is still visible as different colour.
For people who know inverted colors by mind this might be true, but i would say
for the majority of people a e.g. blue-blended red letter is still better to be
identified as red as a cyan one, isn't it...?
>Everything is like a negative, so blue text becomes orange-ish, etc. I think it
works rather well :-)
I doubt this is true for the majority of people using a ofice package, sorry :-/
Another reason to get off of XOR is that XOR of a gray near the middle of gray
cannot be separated form it's original color.
AW->grahamperrin:
Thank You for your constructive help so far. I hope You also wrote Apple at once
about Adobe's Indesign CS3, everything else would not be fair, would it :-)
I have some unreadable characters in the title, with what have You edited this
task...?
I think it will be better to rename back this task and open a new one
(enhancement, too ) for handling focus loss to have a better granularity and
overview when looking at the task titles. Please do so.
