2016-11-01 03:40:35 Daniel van Vugt webbrowser-app (Ubuntu): status New Incomplete
2016-11-01 03:41:42 Daniel van Vugt description The top area of the browser window is really just a series thin grey lines on a white background. This is poor design for a few reasons: 1. Grey and white don't contrast very well, especially thin strips of grey on white. 2. The grey outlines and symbols are inconsistent in thickness and colour: 2.1. The X icon is thinner than the + icon beside it, which is a different consistency again to the < button below it. 2.2. The rounded grey outline around the address is slighly thicker (blurred?) compared to the grey outline delineating the tabs. 3. Those vision impaired will have a very hard time. 4. Even those who are not vision impaired will be cognitively slowed by having to interpret the fine grey lines rather than areas of greater contrast.
