------- Additional comments from psquare...@openoffice.org Thu Mar 19 19:36:01 +0000 2009 ------- I believe the status in the screenshot _IS_ an error. According to the ui spec ( http://ui.openoffice.org/specification/options_accessibility.html ): 7) Automatically detect high contrast mode of operating system This option will be used by the function GetHighContrastMode (responsible developer is Philipp Lohmann). If this option is active (default is on) the internal function GetHighContrastMode determines a high contrast mode not only by analyzing a maybe existing flag of the operating system. Then the function will also determine if the window background is dark by using the IsDark function and return true regardless if a high contrast flag is set or not. Instead of asking for this single flag at the SvtAccessibilityOptions the applications should use the above method Application::GetSettings().GetStyleSettings().GetHighContrastMode(). The way I read this is that the system should only attempt to determine whether the theme is a high contrast theme if this box is checked. If this box is unchecked, then OOo should not do any kind of theme checking and simply use whatever the user-configured theme is. Dark themes are becoming much more popular, especially with their default inclusion in many popular distros. Accessibility mode can make OOo virtually _unusable_ for more advanced tasks, and there is NO way* to turn it off if you're using a dark theme! This makes this a _serious_ usability bug IMHO. *If there is, I haven't found it. Such a setting I would then consider FAR too cryptic and generally a defect in usability. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
