Bug Description

Binary package hint: light-themes

The theme is a quite low-contras-theme, but with the contrast from the slider on the scrollbar I'am unhappy. I can't look on it without getting blind. Please increase here the contrast from the outline and the steppers. The initial-version of those themes had a good looking slider-style and a quite good contrast. Please make them similar to the initial-version again.

@scholli

Test my branch please.  Many more fixes and enhancements.  Border colors were added to scale and scrollbar.  The effect is quite appealing.  Thanks.

@ James:

I tested your last revison (I think it was 54) and I liked it more. I set the parameter: contrast = 0.6 and it's perfect for me ... really awesome. Please try it with contrast = 0.6 and you will see what I mean ... with this parameter we can change the state to "fix commited".

It's even worse in the new Ambiance Dark theme.

This bug is still very painful. I can't differentiate the slider in the scrollbar! Here's another workaround: http://ww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1526408

I agree. Contrast slider in the scrollbar is still very low. People with poor eyesight have problems.

When does this change arrive in updates/proposed/backports? I'm in the process of going cross-eyed trying to spot my slider right now!
