Are we stuck with the current UI?
It is extremely hard on the eyes. And I'm not trying to sound dramatic or anything but there is no way I can play on Green with the current UI. The Default on Blue is much, much better. ETA: Thanks for everything y'all are doing. I'm looking forward to Green and enjoy Blue. I point this out right away, however, because the extremely poor contrast I saw in the Beta UI last night strains my eyes to an intolerable degree. | ||

You can set the colors on each window to manage whatever eye strain you may have. | |||

What I'm getting at is that, as a web developer, we often pick colors that look perfectly readable to us. But to people with vision issues, two colors might appear very similar, making it difficult to read them. To help us "good vision developers" support such people, we have tools like this: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ You can put any foreground/background color in there and it will tell you whether they pass certain "WCAG" (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. Verant may not have had this tool, but since we do ... I've been here awhile, so I understand full well how important the "keep it classic" principle is here. I do. But ... is it crazy to think "maybe things would be better if we went with slightly unclassic, but almost classic, text foreground/background colors, which do meet the AA (but not the AAA) standard?" Such colors could likely still be very close to the original ones, to the point where most people wouldn't even notice ... they'd just have better contrast. If anyone can give me the hex codes for the current text foreground/background color I'd be happy to find the closest AA-compliant colors. (None of this is in any way meant as a slight to the amazing classic re-creation UI ... just trying to remember people who aren't as lucky as we are.) (P.S. Also not trying to make more work for anyone ... if this is a big problem, please don't listen to me: screw disabled people! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])

Background colors are customizable by the end user.
Text colors are customizable by the end user. I just really can’t see a reason I deviate from source material to cater to a minority crowd that has the ability to fix their issues. I can appreciate that color blindness can affect people’s ability to see things correctly, and if there was no work around this may be a valid discussion to have. But the reality is that the end user can customize these as they wish. | ||

Can't these people who can't read the UI just... set their resolution lower?
Where are all these sensitive ass blind people coming from anyway?

And 100% they can set different colors. What I'm saying is, if we can get a UI that looks almost exactly like classic, but let's the people I just mentioned not have to change their color just to be able to read, AND let's everyone who has good vision and wants to keep the default colors be able to do so more easily ... is that really worse?
