Description Matthias Clasen 2012-10-18 16:40:46 UTC 
It has been pointed out to me that changing the highcontrast switch in the a11y menu has no effect at all on the login/lock screen - it is purely a gtk theme change, and there is simply no gtk on those screens. (same goes for empty desktops, but that is really a corner case)
Comment 1 Florian Müllner 2012-10-18 16:49:06 UTC 
I've suggested on the downstream bug to hide the switch on the login/lock screens - easy to implement, but needs design approval.
Comment 2 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-10-18 16:50:05 UTC 
Do we want to support a high constrast shell theme? That seems like it could be the step in the other direction we could take.
Comment 3 Florian Müllner 2012-10-18 16:51:32 UTC 
Yes, though the contrast of the shell theme is already pretty high :-)
Comment 4 Allan Day 2012-10-18 18:52:43 UTC 
Let's check with the a11y team to see if they think the contrast is already sufficient.
Comment 5 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:21:23 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
