Title: AUI text is unreadable in high contrast mode
Post by: mimi89999 on April 15, 2020, 12:20:07 PM

Hello,
AUI text is unreadable in high contrast mode. I fixed it in https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/commit/697bd0744159e8c0ded7fb4174eecbfa41700e7c. Could you please consider applying this patch to wxWidgets when you will do the next release?

I have been looking the patch for src/aui/barartmsw.cpp, and the text color for disabled buttons is still hardcoded in two methods (DrawButton and DrawDropDownButton). Also, for disabled buttons you set the color twice. I think

Code Select


dc.SetTextForeground(wxSystemSettings::GetColour(wxSYS_COLOUR_CAPTIONTEXT));
if ( item.GetState() & wxAUI_BUTTON_STATE_DISABLED )
    dc.SetTextForeground(DISABLED_TEXT_COLOR);

should be

Code Select


if ( item.GetState() & wxAUI_BUTTON_STATE_DISABLED )
    dc.SetTextForeground(wxSystemSettings::GetColour(wxSYS_COLOUR_INACTIVECAPTIONTEXT));
else
    dc.SetTextForeground(wxSystemSettings::GetColour(wxSYS_COLOUR_CAPTIONTEXT));

and this part can be removed

Code Select


static const unsigned char
DISABLED_TEXT_GREY_HUE = wxColour::AlphaBlend(0, 255, 0.4);
const wxColour DISABLED_TEXT_COLOR(DISABLED_TEXT_GREY_HUE,
    DISABLED_TEXT_GREY_HUE,
    DISABLED_TEXT_GREY_HUE);

Thanks. I will look at this.

I would actually use `wxSYS_COLOUR_GRAYTEXT` instead of `wxSYS_COLOUR_INACTIVECAPTIONTEXT`.

Only if they make an actual release. If not we'll pick only things which prevent crashes...
