[SDK] Small light grey text difficult to read on of white background

[Dave H]

I am using the Meizu MX4 with the latest updates(15.04 r3), I also have the BQ E4.5 that has the same issue.
Light grey text is very difficult to read even on a white background. In some apps such as the Dekko for instance you cant read the text in the emails, such as bug reports sent from Ubuntu. In settings > accounts , you cant read the email address below each company such as Ubuntu one or Google. As Ubuntu Touch is content based I would have though text contrast would be high on the list but this is not the case.

Please see Dekko example attached (taken from MX4)

Also, If in the future users wish to change the white background to a picture (or another colour) this will be a big problem . I have manually changed the scope backgrounds to a light blue, lake / mountain picture and the phone looks much more interesting, but text is very dim for general reading.

To be honest I think the end user should have some control over text size, colour, contrast, font etc as they do in the Unity desktop software.

Please can you consider my request.

Thanks

Design outcome:

Thanks for pointing this out, we're aware of it as well. We're working hard on updating the SDK at the moment and this is one of the things that should be fixed when this lands. Should be a couple of months but hopefully it'll solve your issue. Thanks!
