Font Colour for Time List in "Week" and "Day" view lack contrast.

An aesthetic complaint:

From my point of view, the font struck me as not having enough contrast, causing me to want to squint. Changing the colour to "UbuntuColors.coolgrey" I would imagine would work better.

============ Solution (nik90) ===============
Change the time text color to "UbuntuColors.coolGrey" to provide a better contrast with the background.

Hi, we would like to have designer inputs on this.

[Kill Animals (kill-animals)]

I'll be working on another bug that may solve this issue:

I'll be creating two branches to gauge the aesthetic preferences. Stay tuned.

Please leave a comment on whether you like any of these designs

I would prefer 2nd option.

to me 3'rd seems good,

 as we need some kind of separator between individual hours and also identifies for working hours, 3rd seems to offer both.

1st and 4th also offer same,but to me color is not matching current gray theme.

BTW, we need to make working hours configurable,.

I redid the screenshots, with some events in the page. Take a look:

One option may to be, that instead of altering colours, we could put lines between the rectangle.

One thing I would like to see actually, is the time label sitting on top of the line, instead of in the centre, making easier to tell what time the line represents.

Guys, let's not do any drastic background or font-color changes please. This bug report was originally about a lack of contrast between the text and the background. So let's just solve that by increasing the darkness of the font color to UbuntuColors.coolGrey. The reason I say this is because the design proposals by Akiva require a design team to look into it and approve. However I don't see that happening considering that the design team is busy atm.

The current grey background was given to us by Alan Pope and a designer. Let's just stick to it. I hope I don't come across as being rude as that's not my intention.

@Akiva, if you want create another bug report about an improved design for the timeline view with your design proposal and we can take that up with the designer post-rtm. But thanks a lot for your contributions and efforts.

I should point out that Popey did comment well on the grey backgrounds, as it did help the events stick out nicely.

As said, I will put something together with that patch you linked me in IRC, and we can just use our discretion from there.
