Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Webtools Graveyard :: Elmo, defect, P3)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #578994 +++

I find it almost impossible to see the difference in the colors used to denote pass (green), test-fail (orange) and build-fail (red)

Suggestions:
Green: 339900 (grass green)

Orange: FF6600 (orange)

Red: 990000 (brick red)

There's interesting feedback on this problem on http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.mercurial.general/31727, talking about good color schemes for diffs

I think I applied the colors in all places where it was used.

Jeff, can you take a look at the screenshots here and give some input?

I don't think the orange color needs to be changed. If anything, it looks more red than it did before. As long as the red is deepened, I can clearly distinguish between the orange and red. Otherwise, it all looks red to me.

Peter, thanks for the patch.

I've talked to Jeff a bit, and we're both on the same page that we want to keep the red scary and the orange ok-ish.

As we discussed on Monday, this was worth trying, but it didn't work out. Thus I'll resolve this WONTFIX.
