261454 - Star ratings are indistinguishable by color for the color-impaired. Green and orange might as well be grey.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 246992

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[daneel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.8

The ratings on Mozilla Update are useless to many color-impaired people because
many greens and oranges are difficult to distinguish from each other and from
grey.  This problem is endimic on mozilla and mozilla.org.  Even the default
skin in Firefox does not provide sufficient contrast in some cases.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a middle rating (e.g., 3/5) in themes or extensions.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I put nose on the screen or mouse over the ratings.

Expected Results:  
Star ratings I can easily see.

While this is only a minor bug individually, it is endemic in Mozilla and
Mozilla.org and is quite annoying.  It even affects first impressions because
the default skin does not provide sufficient contrast and even the firefox icon.

Recommendations
Change the color scheme chosen to increase contrast.
Display the actual rating (e.g., 4.3)
