selected identity's account name is hard to see:  grey text with blue highlight

here comes a screen shot.

is there way we could use a lighter "when selected" color for the selected identity's account name?

I came across a similar issue with the firefox url bar, which uses another color (#55556) for the comment, like tbird does:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/mail/themes/qute/mail/compose/messengercompose.css#337

I bet that what we need is an additional css row that overrides that rule and sets the font color to HighlightText when the item is selected.

for the url bar, I think this happens here:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/toolkit/themes/winstripe/global/autocomplete.css#210
an interesting aspect to this is it isn't clear why the account name is different.  Or I suspect to the novice user, even what "it" is.
also seen in "view" picker in 3-pane
Seems the css for the comment is actually not doing anything...

http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/mail/themes/qute/mail/compose/messengercompose.css#336
336 .autocomplete-treebody::-moz-tree-cell-text(comment) {
337   color: #555566;
338 }

Assuming this patch is obsolete as its included in the second one.

This needs a ui-review as its first action.

This is not an issue in the current Daily. What is being addressed here?
Flags: needinfo?
I think https://bug393641.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=278153 illustrates it pretty well. It's still an issue on current trunk. (At least on linux.)
Flags: needinfo?
Oh, can we get a screenshot of the patch in action? The same changes to the linux theme didn't seem to have any effect.

I like this in theory, but there are a couple of things I want to see before it gets a ui-r+…

1) It looks like you've only made the changes for Windows, which makes it really hard for me to test on my Mac…  ;)
2) We've renamed all the directories so "qute" is now "windows".  This makes things more understandable, but sadly breaks your patch.
3) Don't bother commenting out the old colours, just replace them.  If we need to see what they were, we can use the version control system.  :)

I look forward to the next version of your patch!

Thanks,
Blake.

I would like to take it on as my first bug. It seems to me that  the change
 .autocomplete-treebody::-moz-tree-cell-text(comment) {
-  color: #555566;
+  color: #FFFFFF;
 }
is having no effect on the thunderbird. Is that so? Also, what is desired change in the color?(if there is some specific colour.)
The color of highlight depends on the platform(for linux mint it is green).
Thank you for taking this bug. If you have questions, ask them here or through IRC in #maildev.

It has no effect because it's a menupopup and not a tree. As color you can use HighlightText. It's the same color as the email address has when selected but it's still italic and the difference is enough.

Best would be you add the needed rule to messengercompose.css. What you need is to override the color of this rule: http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mozilla/toolkit/themes/windows/global/menu.css#75 I've chosen the windows path but where also linux and osx.

Attached patch Bug393641.patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This fixes the issue by using the HighlightText instead GrayText when hovering the item. I also fixed the attachmentBucketSize color to use GrayText instead of a fixed color to better work with dark themes an High Contrast themes.

Bug393641.patch

Works fine for me. HighlightText seems to be the logical choice, although something a little less bright would be better. Perhaps add some opacity?

Nice!
Jorg, please don't steal non-urgent reviews without asking.
I've been doing heaps of theme reviews lately, so this was a good match.
