Using the default selection color of the OS, the cell selection border is nearly invisible. Changing the gridline color in LO doesn't help, as the cellselection color is so massive dimmed, that it is nearly invisible. Changing the selection color in the MacOS system settings to a darker one is a workaround, but as this affects the text selection color in all other applications too, this is very unpleasant. It would be much better when the cell selection color could be set inside LO. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

I see this code in electron [1] (MIT license) Objective C++ file:
std::string SystemPreferences::GetAccentColor() {
NSColor* sysColor = nil;
if (@available(macOS 10.14, *))
sysColor = [NSColor controlAccentColor];
return ToRGBAHex(skia::NSSystemColorToSkColor(sysColor),
false /* include_hash */);
}
I see a discussion about run-time API availability check [2], mentioning that
it is introduced in XCode 9 (our baseline is 12.5 [3]).
This is the related documentation from Apple [4], [5].
It *seems* to me that we have everything required to make it work on systems
that support the accent color, without bumping requirements (which should
happen ~soon anyway, IIUC).

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145080 --- Comment #20 from al...@gmx.de --- Here, as a reference, an image (see Attachment #178014) that shows how Excel draws the border and ensures that it is well visible in every color situation. The attachment image should be zoomed in to ses the details well. My understanding of how Excel draws the border: 1. Draw the border around the cell with the stanard border color. 2. Draw the "inner border" with the standard background color (it's only visible if the cell's background color is changed). This ensures that the cursor is visible even if the cell background color is set to the color of the standard border. 3. Draw the drag handle in the standard color. 4. On the left and top of the drag handle, draw lines in the standard background color. This ensures that the handle is visible even if the cell background color is set to the color of the standard border. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 145080] make sure, cell selection colors use good contrast when following system highlight color on macOS
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145080 --- Comment #18 from steve --- Talked to Heiko and this is the summary: macOS uses - Accent colour (defaults to blue) - Highlight colour (defaults to light blue) This makes sense as highlight color is used when highlighting e.g. text. In the end this (again) is about good contrast. Marking black text with blue results in less contrast than marking black text with light blue. LO currently uses macOS 10.13 as target. macOS 10.13 has no understanding of accent color. So when build target will be raised to macOS 10.14 it will be possible to utilize Accent color. What would solve the problem this bug is about (not enough contrast in cell selection color) would be if LibreOffice used Accent Colour as cell selection color. Currently it uses Highlight colour resulting in the bad contrast especially in light (default) color scheme. So the plan is to wait for raising the build target to macOS 10.14 (July 2022), revisit then and ideally this problem will be solved after cell selection color is changed to use Accent color. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145080 --- Comment #9 from steve --- @Heiko: how is this bug here a duplicate of #143733, which is about making the border wider for better visibility, while this bug here is about using colors that provide good contrast? Both bugs are about the current border lacking visibility however the solutions differ and are certainly not a duplicate of each other. And re: deviating from system colors - it certainly makes sense to not deviate. But I fail to understand how the current very light blue used in LibreOffice should be or match the macOS blue system accent color. Attaching a screenshot of the system color selection and the blue shown there is completely unrelated to the blue used in LibreOffice. The macOS accent colors would solve the contrast issue with the current color choices from LibreOffice. Where is LibreOffice getting the color values from?

I'm not sure what pushback you received to this, as I don't see it in either Bug 143733 or Bug 142959. Anyway, I agree with Timur in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142959#c11 that we should just add another option to Application Colors->Spreadsheet and have it default to the system highlight color.

Selection color comes from system theme and whether darker or lighter depend on many aspects. Plus, Apple Numbers draw the rectangle in addition to the cell frame and FF uses two frames. You may ask to draw the lines bolder but I'd disagree too as it looks ugly on some other OSes.
