Mint-Y-Dark: unfocused window title should be darker, to get a bold difference between focused and unfocused
Closed this issue · 0 comments
There aren't much visual differences between focused and unfocused windows. How do I know if it is focused or not ? I look at the title. So, the title should be clearly visible on the focused windows, while being barely readable on the unfocused windows. Now, I looked at the contrasts values as calculated on https://colorable.jxnblk.com/ and made this little table:
WINDOW TITLE CONTRASTS
Theme variant and window | Text / Background = Contrast |
---|---|
Light, focused | #404040 / #E8E8E8 = 8.46 |
Light, unfocused | #9D9D9D / #E8E8E8 = 2.21 |
Dark, focused | #E3E3E3 / #2B2B2B = 11.03 |
Dark, unfocused | #A7A7A7 / #2B2B2B = 5.89 !! |
Compare the contrasts values for the light, unfocused, versus the dark, unfocused. That's 2.21 versus 5.89. So, I suggest the dark, unfocused should get about the same low contrast as the light theme variant: around 2.21. More precisely: #606060.
Theme variant and window | Text / Background = Contrast |
---|---|
Dark, unfocused, v2 | #606060 / #2B2B2B = 2.25 |
Re-edited Mint-Y-Dark:
All I had to do was to change line 99 in src/Mint-Y/gtk-3.0/sass/_colors.scss
to $wm_title_unfocused: if($variant == 'light', #9d9d9d, #606060);
to achieve this !
