Hello
I keep asking myself why the error text is an unreadable red #933938 in the kode editor of the KWGT app, as well as the other Kustom apps. I did some research, and some trial and error to find the perfect replacement for the color.
Yellow, or more specifically, #ffd000 is much easier on the eyes for people with light sensitivity. I have included images of the current design, the hex codes, as well as the ideal colors.
Also, the nice thing about the yellow is it symbolizes hazard or caution, so it goes with the context.
Place the url of this post in the text field on this site to see how hard it is to see the red and gray combo. The site simulates what it would look like with various vision impairments.
Notice that the yellow is visible in each of the dropdown choices, but red is consistently unreadable. Red becomes virtually invisible for those who can only see monochrome. Anyway, here is the site.
I need to completely rewrite the formula editor so i will make this better in the future, right now i just made the proposed change, now it looks like this:
Thanks for planning to fix it. This will help a lot. When you say rewrite, will you address the jargon in the errors? The errors should try to be a little more helpful like “Place $ at the end” or “To nest the if formula, do ABC”
I plan to rewrite completely the editor following a more modern architecture, its not really about features but more the code that needs a revamp, mockup is below, once i have it done i can work on new features too
