  • This page is now for tweaking the text highlight colours

Alternative "Menu" span/template colours:

In the previous discussion, #2 was chosen as the new menu highlight colour. It does not work well in the advice template.

1. Click on Effect >Amplify #FFFFCC previous colour
2. Click on Effect >Amplify #FFEEAA Steve +0.5; Gale +1; Peter +1
3. Click on Effect >Amplify #FFEECC Bill +1
4. Click on Effect >Amplify #FFDDAA Steve +1

The current colour in an advice template:

When importing an uncompressed audio file with the "Read uncompressed file directly from the original (faster)" option checked in Import / Export Preferences never move, rename or delete that file unless you first copy it into the Audacity project. See File > Check Dependencies for more information.

Choice #4 in the various boxes:

See File > Check Dependencies for more information.

Not so good - it disappears in the alert template.

What about grey? If we use boxed grey for the shortcuts perhaps unboxed grey for menus would work.

Not so good - #DDD disappears in the intro div and #CCC is too dark. Would we ever use the menu template in an intro div?

Wiki has a "menugrey" template for use inside boxes. We could get around this conundrum by using "menugrey" in an alert div, and the darker orange everywhere else.

The "Shortcut" span

In the previous discussion, #1 below was chosen as the new shorcut highlight colour. It does not work well in the note template.

1. Press CTRL + A. Gale +1; Steve +1; Bill -0.5, Peter +1
2. Press CTRL + A. Gale -1, Peter -1
3. Press CTRL + A. Steve +1; Bill +0.5; Gale -1, Peter -1
4. Press CTRL + A. Gale +1
5. Press CTRL + A. Bill +1 (changing my vote)
6. Press CTRL + A. Or Gale +1 for this key span also

The current colour in a note template:

Press CTRL + A.

I can see a case to returning to the grey highlight:

Press CTRL + A

Press CTRL + A.

Press CTRL + A.

Press CTRL + A.

Press CTRL + A.

I can also see a case for boxing them:

Press CTRL + A.

Press CTRL + A.

Press CTRL + A.

Press CTRL + A.

The kbrd template

There is still some concern that the kbrd template may not be visible enough in some of the boxes. Here's how it looks now.
