Re: Clutch blue-green background colour obscures entries
http://people.apache.org/~sebb/clutch.html#clutch OK to change that? This colour scheme was carefully chosen to assist with colour-blindness. I have been meaning to find the old discussion and development here about that, and add to Clutch notes. It used to have decent contrast for the links. Now the new bootsrap CSS has changed link colour to be a lighter blue. It has also changed the visited link colour to be the same (which is poor design). No, its not. I like it. Marking visited links with different colors is so 90ies. You see, it is in the eye of the observer. I started yesterday to develop some CSS to fix that for this table, but really it is an overall site issue. Now the visited links in the clutch table cannot be differed from the green background. I should mention that I have a color-weakness. -David - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org -- http://www.grobmeier.de - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
Re: Clutch blue-green background colour obscures entries
Finally the wonderful bootstrap css is destroyed: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/committer.html I do not agree to changing the colors of visited links. The headings now have a different line-height and look pretty ugly (see Mailing lists heading). Heading were bold before, and I think we should keep them bold. And looking at this page compared to: http://code.grobmeier.de/incubator-draft-v2/guides/committer.html Even the heading color should not be black. It gives everything a depressing look and feel. The clutchtable has a class called colortable, can we format this class instead of formatting the standard bootstrap classes? Can we change that again, please?

The headings now have a different line-height and look pretty ugly (see Mailing lists heading). Sorry, I don't see the line-height issue. I don't mind too much about the visited links being a different colour. Heading were bold before, and I think we should keep them bold. I was not aware I had changed the font weight. And looking at this page compared to: http://code.grobmeier.de/incubator-draft-v2/guides/committer.html Even the heading color should not be black. It gives everything a depressing look and feel. I find black more legible, and having headings the same colour as links is very confusing. The clutchtable has a class called colortable, can we format this class instead of formatting the standard bootstrap classes? Can we change that again, please? Perhaps the earlier suggestion of creating a branch to test out the new formatting would now be useful. If this is stored on p.a.o in a personal directory, we can try different settings very quickly.

Clutch blue-green background colour obscures entries
Clutch uses a blue-green background colour for satisfactory entries. However, many entries include clickable blue links which are not very distinct from the background. I suggest changing the background to light green (#90EE90) which works much better for me.
