Comment 4 for bug 1568362

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your comments concerning the small grey text problem on Ubuntu Touch. Things haven’t improved either on my MX4 even with OTA 13 installed and quite a large screen. I did discuss this issue with Pat McGowan when the software was at OTA 10 level but nothing has changed unfortunately. To be honest I have got used to guessing what the text is saying and moving to the website to read it fully. As you said this problem makes the scope text virtually useless, I think most people just navigate straight to the web-page to read the article.

Pat can you please help us to resolve this issue, surely its not too difficult to just add the option to have say 3 different text sizes for all scopes, the user can then simply select a text size that suits him in the phone setting menu. Also I dont agree that this is a problem that only effect people with poor sight, its just not right as standard in my opinion.

If you want to see a good example of text size / colour, go to the BBC website via the BBC ubuntu touch app first. The difference in the text readability is obvious, the same goes for many other website when displayed on my MX4 or any other ubuntu touch phone I guess.

Note, I also have a BQ M10 tablet, even on that the scope text is still rather small and low contrast when compared to most websites.

Thanks for your support

Regards

Dave H
