Higher contrast for the light grey borders would be nice

Hello,

I’ve noticed that forum.qubes-os.org uses very light grey for a lot of the borders and separator lines between panels and subpanels. It would be nice to darken these, to assist people with low-contrast screens and/or vision impairments.

Best wishes,
Yianni

The theme comes from Discourse. So I think it would be better to implement any accessibility improvement at the source.

To me, the margins are consistent enough to identify each part of the page and the light grey borders are meaningless.

This forum has so far only a White Mode and Dark Mode theme. But Discourse provides also WCAG compliant color schemes, see Making your forum more accessible and WCAG high-contrast color palettes for low vision.

The first link explains how to make the schemes available for the forum.

@yianni There is a subcategory Forum Feedback - maybe move your post there since it’s about the forum and not the website?

I’ve added these color palettes now. Please set them on your user profile here and let me know if they resolve your problem.

Apologies for the delay in getting to this.

Hello,

Yes, some of the new alternative themes have much higher contrast.
