<![CDATA[Happy Default Grey Year]]>I have realized that:

  • Button element, if no color is asigned, looks grey #b2b2b2 (which is not in our palette) and
  • Neutral button actions (in our theme palette) looks a bit special

What we do? Change the theme to match the default grey? Add an exception? Change the default button color to match the palette?

Left: default grey
Right: default neutral button palette specification

@3arn0wl Fake tomato ketchup? What are you talking about? Only real tomato here, maybe real tomato sauce with onion... but fake tomato? Where's the banning button in the forum? 😛 😛 😛

(I'm going to say it: I've never liked that red!! For me, it has associations with the fake tomato ketchup we used to have in East Africa. Ugh!)

I I would have expected buttons to "be raised"... Why should the thumb toggles of switches be raised but buttons not?

@mymike I think we should use the foreground color for the background button color and redefine the colors. I think using other palette terms (as backgrounSecondaaryText) will be more confusing than it is today 🙂

@3arn0wl there's only the information on the old Ubuntu... I try to come to UBports little by little 😉 but you can read about it for now here

Thanks @Josele13 😉

it's possible you'll see another point of seeing it.

If you try to change the color #b2b2b2b2 to another gray #8a8885, it looks better having the letters in white,

greetings...

That would give our apps increased cohesion.

Definitely the same color as the background should not be used there. The "button" now looks like it's already pressed, and also disabled, regardless of the enabled state of the widget.

Well, if at all possible / easy, we need the no color assigned grey to be 'our' grey! (I don't like all of our colors, but our grey is better than the default one.)
