Bug Description

Sincerely I need to work with my Windows 7 accounts to be configured to use high-contrast-mode and high-contrast-#1 theme (yellow text on black backgrounds, white frames).

I was quite astonished, that there are so less problems with RedNotbook, but some areas a bit problematic:

1. After inserting a template, before "saving" it, the view gets quiet distorted for people like me.
2. The tag cloud is not rendered in the system colors, so it is still black on white
3. In the settings dialog I'm not quite sure if I miss something black on black

Independent of any theming the tags area on the left of the window behaves a bit strange while resizing the window

Here the screenshot of the settings window.

Since I already had applications in the black high-contrast-mode rendering black on black or white on white, I do not know, if the settings dialog does "hide" something, but its structure gives the impression, that I might miss something!

Thanks for your report!

1) I'd like to visually highlight that the template view is not the standard edit view. Do you have a better idea for which background color to use?
2) I guess the preview window is also not rendered in the system colors. Both problems stem from the fact that the views use an embedded HTML renderer. You could change the colors yourself by editing CLOUD_CSS in rednotebook/gui/clouds.py and CSS in rednotebook/util/markup.py. However, I don't know how easy that is on Windows.
3) There's no black on black text, so you're seeing everything.

Changed in rednotebook:

1. In high-contrast-mode it could be good just to render a frame around the preview and to use white instead of yellow.
WIth high-contrast-#1 theme the system colors are colors COLOR_WINDOWFRAME for the text, COLOR_HIGHLIGHT or COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT for the frame?

2. About using "injected" and static CSS for the tag cloud and the preview ... what's about detecting dark/black high-contrast to switch to another prepared CSS automatically?
A library we use detects the high-contrast-mode this way:

 m_bIsBlackHighContrast =
  ::GetSysColor (COLOR_3DLIGHT) == RGB (255, 255, 255) &&
  ::GetSysColor (COLOR_3DFACE) == RGB (0, 0, 0);
 m_bIsWhiteHighContrast =
  ::GetSysColor (COLOR_3DDKSHADOW) == RGB (0, 0, 0) &&
  ::GetSysColor (COLOR_3DFACE) == RGB (255, 255, 255);

 m_bHighContrast = m_bIsWhiteHighContrast || m_bIsBlackHighContrast;

BTW I attached a screen shot of RedNoteBook with the non-high-contrast preview.

Don't move to Westport Road. We thought the area we were moving to was okay (near Westport Village and 264). I did extensive research - crime reports were okay. We've lived in the heart of downtown, in Old Louisville, near Southern Parkway, near U of L, in Shelbyville, and in Crestwood (I've also lived in 4 other cities in KY). I spoke to the landlord here at length about how I wanted a decent atmosphere - how I was a professional person, worked M-F, didn't party, etc. I can put up with a lot, but crime, gunshots, etc... No. So yesterday we found out that someone broke in our locked car (and locked the doors after they took everything) and there were gunshots right outside our bedroom window (no - not firecrackers - we know the difference). We left downtown when the gunshots started coming from the building we were in. I am stuck here for 6 more months. Then we'll probably head east. we are actually paying more for this place than were were in Crestwood. I could rent a house for what I pay to live here - so it's not a cheap place. IDK how some of the people here afford to live here. I guess the property manager saw me coming. :( I always get lied to when I rent. I check online reviews extensively, so if anyone out there has lived in a complex and had a bad experience, please find somewhere on the net to review the place. Thank you! :)

Subject: Exactly.

I pre-boiled a pot of water for 30 minutes before cooking the potato for 7 long and hard years in the harsh cold of Soviet Russia. I then made a pilgrimage up the seven thousand steps and shouted at people, slayed a dragon, and ate the potato before becoming the potato. Then I just took my computer and took a picture of my tv screen. From Skype.

Uk policeman here. We do have to retake the fitness test every year. Sadly, since I joined back in '02, the forces of fat weaklings have caused said test to go from slightly strenuous (enough to keep actually fat people from passing) to a total fucking joke - I have literally done it running backwards without effort.

Even for my department (armed response), which has a much higher standard fitness test things have gotten easier.

This pisses me off hard - knowing that people's operational efficiency is compromised to avoid hurting someone's fee-fees.

If you think this doesn't have real world consequences, I can assure you it does. My team and the life saving equipment we carry can only move at the speed of the fattest laziest officer, and in a life or death situation your ability to respond or make decisions is massively affected if you are out of breath and exhausted.
