Ralf, all,
At one time we revisited the alternating row color provided by row_on background in egroupware/phpgwapi/templates/idots/css/traditional.css due it looking almost invisible or hard to perceive against the regular background. Apparently I had done a reinstall on one server without updating the row_on color and looking at the home page or calendar I noticed it was very difficult to carry my eyes across the rows. The row_on background was set to #f1f1f1, testing colors as near to that color but that produced better contrast, I arrived at #e6e6e6.
It is a small thing, but for those that look at the polish on egw, it makes a large difference. I am fairly certain the the original contrast between row_off at #FFFFFF and row_on at #F1F1F1 looked find on CRT monitors, but after the demise of the CRT and near 100% replacement with LCD, the shading difference has all but disappeared.
For the rest on the list, if you would like to toy with the contrast a bit, all you need to do is adjust the row_on background in the traditional.css file (for old versions of egw, the setting was originally in idots.css). You will find the setting beginning on line 387 of traditional.css:
.row_on {
color: black;
# background-color: #F1F1F1;
background-color: #E6E6E6;
}
You can simply comment the original and set the new background to whatever you like.
Ralf, what do you say about adding a bit of extra contrast to the setting for egw by default to accommodate the CRT to LCD transition with a footnote in the change log for those that don't want any additional contrast. Discuss it and see what the consensus is. For me, I'm happy to keep updating it myself, but I offer it as a suggestion because I think it would benefit the look of egw as a whole. If the consensus is no, that's perfectly fine.
