[Bug 762349] Re: Difficult to distinguish which tab is selected

2016-05-16 Thread Will Cooke

Updated bug to make it SRU compliant.

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: unity
+ [Impact]
+ * When a user opens multiple tabs in GNOME terminal all tabs are styled in a
*very* visually similar manner. This makes it very hard to distinguish between
the current active tab and all the others and on a HiDPI screen pretty much
impossible.

- In tabbed interfaces such as in gnome-terminal under unity it is
- difficult to visually distinguish the selected tab from the unselected
- ones.
+ * This fix has been ack'd by design and was targeted for X but didn't
+ get reviewed and OK'd in time. Design team have approved this styling.

- In the attached screenshot, gnome-terminal has three tabs open, and the
- third one is selected. If you look close you can see the text is
- slightly whiter than the other tabs, and the border is a little more
- prominent but to my old man eyes it's really hard to see it at a glance.
+ * This bug is fixed by extending the CSS specifically for Terminal (i.e.
+ no other applications are affected) giving the active tab a darker
+ background colour (using only theme defined colours) and reworks the
+ borders around the tabs to remove the graduated image borders that only
+ look right on a light coloured background. Changes have been made for
+ both Ambiance and Radiance.

- Under metacity, the difference is more notable (or at least, the theme
- is different).
+ [Test Case]
+ * On a stock 16.04 install open GNOME Terminal (ctrl-alt-t)
+ * Open five new tabs (ctrl-shift-t)
+ * Click on the tab in the middle
+ * Note that it is hard to see at a glance which tab is currently selected
+ * Close Terminal and all open tabs.
+ * Install the patched theme
+ * Open Terminal and open five new tabs
+ * Click on the tab in the middle and note that it takes on a dark grey
background

- My guess is this is a theme issue rather than unity, but I'm unsure. If
- it is just a theme issue please refile to the right project.

+ [Regression Potential]
+ * The patch only addresses tabs that are placed at the top of the window.
However this is the only option in Terminal, so should not cause any problems.
+ * There is a work-around to match the "actions bar" (the bit with the
dropdown selector and + button). This bug is supposed to be fixed in v3.20 and
could be removed. This is commented in the CSS.
