I'm surprised this is such a discussion. The colors are definitely black on black, which is impossible to see. I encourage anyone suggesting not to change anything to take your laptop into the garden, park, balcony or any other sunny place; turn on high contrast and try to ALT+TAB. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2030963 Title: Window/app switcher highlights hard to see To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/2030963/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It's definitely grey on dark grey. There is no black. Certainly viewing a screen in the sun will make it harder to see. But at least when indoors it should be visible as grey on dark grey. In more recent releases (24.04 maybe but definitely 24.10), it became a lighter grey on dark grey so that makes it easier to see. If your monitor has gamma or contrast settings then try adjusting those. If there are no such settings then I'm not sure what the course of action would be without access to a colour calibration device to correct the display. Maybe a simpler solution is to install 24.04 instead of 22.04, or even consider changing the shell theme. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2030963 Title: Window/app switcher highlights hard to see To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/2030963/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 2030963] Re: Window/app switcher highlights hard to see
Grey on dark grey is still not "high contrast". A better solution is
more likely to teach the devs what high contrast is.
The Chrome DevTools has a pretty useful feature to test color contrast …
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/accessibility/contrast/#fix-low-contrast
Its color picker for text (sometimes) shows whether a color choice meets the AA
or AAA thresholds for accessibility guidelines. For an accessibility feature,
AA should be met, at the very least.
I don't have the exact values so I've only estimated them, but the background
color seems like something close to #333 and the foreground color something
like #222. I've made a mockup to illustrate the bad readability / visibility
with these values:
https://codepen.io/woodrowshigeru/pen/NWZMZzL
Codepen fails to support the color picker contrast part of the DevTools
for some reason ("No contrast information available"). But I get it to
work when opening an empty page in the browser with `about:blank` and
applying styles directly there. Still, the codepen shows you what I did:
* I first created "v1" which seems to be the "grey on dark grey".
* Then I chose another foreground color until I surpassed the AA threshold for
"v2".
* And then I did the same for "v3" / AAA.
This is how nicely visible it could be.

I agree it's not good design, because we do keep getting the same bug report... The design has however improved in 24.04 compared to 22.04 so please make sure you're using 24.04. If that's still not enough then you have two options: 1. Contact the Ubuntu theme designers by adding a comment in https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/3967 2.
