Noticed how contrast between the active and inactive arrows in the new chrome update is so low that you can hardly make out if it's clickable or not?

It's very clear what's clickable and what's not.... have you seen an optometrist lately? lol

@Stuxnet No, I don't need an eye exam, just more contrast between the 2 arrows.

Very clear to tell lol

Background: fffffd, Dark Arrow: 606165, Light Arrow: bababa. So let's analyse the data with https://webaim.org/resources/...

Contrast dark arrow vs. background: 6.18:1 OK

Contrast light arrow vs. background: 1.94:1 FAIL

Contrast between arrows: 3.19:1 OK (but only for large text)

The main problem with Google's colour choices is that the dark is already so light that there is not much headroom to make it lighter. That's this shit pseudo minimalism where everything is grey in grey as to achieve a "clean" look without actually designing a clean interface.

@Fast-Nop The light arrow and background is what I'm talking about, looks almost same to me.
@Floydian It's different but still look like they lack contrast 😶

I'm using f.lux at the moment with colour temperature turned down all the way, maybe it's because if that.

@N0-Flux-Given no, UIs with good contrast stay usable with Flux, too. It's just those that are already bad without Flux that can become even worse. Besides, Flux tunes the colours, but WCAG has it that you shall never rely on colour alone to convey meaning, or else it's a UI bug.

Maybe you need to calibrate your monitor. Or at least tweak it a bit.

The problem here is that YOU'RE NOT USING DARK THEME
