GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 304648
Add Ability To Configure Foreground Color Along With Background For Calendars
Last modified: 2013-09-13 00:50:09 UTC
I've been asked to add this item from our users. As Evolution works now, any colors darker 'medium' cannot be used on the calendar because the text is always black. If you wanted to use dark blue for instance, you can't because the text is too dark. Requesting therefore that the calendar add/properties widget allows you configure the foreground (font) color as well. Attaching very simple mockup of the screen.
Created attachment 46604 [details] Quick mockup of screen to allow back and foreground colors to be set.
to me, this is a bug and not an enhancement. :-)
At a minimum, it should default the font to 'White' on dark colors. The default color template contains colors that cannot even be used at all. The darker blues are worthless because you can't read them with black letters.
Created attachment 64759 [details] [review] Now the summary text color will be white for dark event colors and vice versa
Request please apply to 2.6 along with 2.7? This would really help us greatly.
hmm... good question. rajeev, does your patch depend on cairo (and can therefore only go into 2.7), or is this cairo-independent (=also 2.6)?
Andre, This patch doesnt depend upon cairo by anyways, :)
*** Bug 264993 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
harish: This patch doesn't change the UI at all. It simply changes text colors based on the calendar color selected. Dark calendars get light letters. Can you commit please to both releases?
Adding srini in CC list.
chen, this is in HEAD already, should go to stable as well IMO.
Fix committed to gnome-2-14 branch.
