- GrantZvolsky 5y agoThe look was entirely different. Black on green IIRC. It's white on somewhat neon green now.

- izacus 5y agoWith later iOS they changed the colour to much brighter green which violates even their own accessibility contrast rules.
- cma 5y agoThey were black on green which is fine, white on green is hard to read, only white on yellow would be worse for the way our cone cells are distributed.
