Hi Serge,

I think many darker skins suffer from poor readability of labels. The problem being the low contrast. These are a number of examples of those:

[attachment=7182:Garnet II.jpg] [attachment=7183:Nautilus.jpg] [attachment=7188:Retro.jpg][attachment=7185:TV-b.jpg] [attachment=7186:Wood.jpg] [attachment=7187:WOT.jpg]

I think the skinprovider should have a boolean property HighContrast which, if true, enforces high contrast for such skins. By setting the property in the skin provider some windows may have high contrast, where others don't.

All screen shots have been reduced in brightness, to show how they appear if the display screen is set to low contrast (much better for your eyes if you have to work with the screen all day).

Most of them could do with light colored lettering. For some of them, the light color is not light enough.

I would appreciate some feed back from the other forum members.

http://www.alphaskin…/skins/wood.asz

http://www.alphaskin…/skins/tv-b.asz

http://www.alphaskin…s/garnet_ii.asz

Labels color has been changed to white here:

I think, last 2 skins are worse when labels are brighter.

Wot_contrast looks great! I don't know why you say it doesn't.

Nautilus_contrast doesn't look good, because only TsLabel changed skin. TsPanel still has a dark caption. The calendar too. The calculator was all right as it was.

The retro skin looks a bit silly now, with the light letters. Maybe the background itself should be a little lighter, so dark letters would still stand out.

The wood skin has changed (if you do a file compare), but I don't see any changes visually..

The garnet ii skin looks great now.

So does the tv-b skin.

Thanks for your efforts so far :a3:.
