Volume Copy Editor Changed Fields Hard to Discern

[Robert J Jackson]

webclient 3.0.5

When a field is changed in the volume copy editor it is difficult to tell by visual cue.

below reported from staff:

The actual field doesn't change color, which would be nice, and the contrast between the blue heading and the green which means it has been edited is *very* low. I use my templates to flag fields that need to be edited, and given that the fields aren't all in the same places as the XUL client, and that it is so hard to see what is flagged, I'm spending a lot of time staring at the editor.

I would love it if the whole field could change color, and if that's not possible, could the green color be made much darker/brighter?

Example attached.

See related bug 1538666. Robert, your screenshot showing the volume/copy editor or the template editor? In my experience, I don't even get any visual cue when most fields are edited because any with pre-populated values start off as green. We definitely could use some improvement here.

The image Bob supplied is of the volume/copy editor after a template has been applied.

Adding a screen shot to show the green highlighting of edited item attributes in the XUL client for comparison. The highlighting occurs if a template is applied or if the attribute is manually edited.

Note that defaults are not highlighted.

here's a branch that adds a green border around fields whose values have changed for the selected copies.
https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/abellenir/lp1761142-volcopy-editor-changed-fields-hard-to-discern

it uses a border instead of a background since background color is already used.

I have tested this code and consent to signing off on it with my name, rfrasur, and my email address, <email address hidden>.

Pushed to master, rel_3_5, and rel_3_4, along with a follow-up that tweaks the field-changed style to ensure visibility and color contrast. Thanks, a. bellenir and Ruth!
