Whitespaaaace, whitespace everywheeeeere.
The year is 2070. Advances in ultra-high density displays have finally realised modern designers' wet dreams of having fonts whose lines are only 1 micrometre thin.
I can't think what's more idiotic in those screenshots. The ungodly amount of whitespace, or the checkboxes-turned-slideswitches (despite the fact that the "slide" metaphor doesn't even make sense outside of touch interfaces), the gray-on-gray colour scheme ("accessibility, what's that?"), the neon-blue accents marketed as a "calming, fresh new design"...
Come on.
- viraptor 6y agoThe text in the menus / tooltips depends on your system. That part is not specific to FF. It does match the rest of the gnome environment. (used for screenshots) I'm not sure the thin font complaint really belongs here. > the gray-on-gray colour scheme ("accessibility, what's that?") As long as the contrast is large enough, it doesn't seem like an accessibility issue. (Accessibility has to account for people who don't see colour) For accessibility you don't want black-on-white either, so you do need some level of grey. It would be interesting to see what does the high-contrast system setting do to the display, but otherwise... are you actually commenting about low contrast? On the active window the lowest contrast I can find is 4.64:1 (for placeholder text in the address bar) which passes WCAG AA for normal text (AAA for large).
