981129 - [aurora][29a2] Console is very low contrast in Aurora

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 971418

(DevTools :: Console, defect)

Description

[Parul Mathur]

Attachment: console-window-aurora-low-contrast.png

Build: Aurora 29a2

Steps to Reproduce
1. Install some add-ons that log a lot information to the Browser Console.
2. Open the Browser Console through Ctrl+Shift+J.

Expected Results
1. The log entries can be read without eye strain. 
2. The different parts of the Browser Console are clearly differentiated.

Actual Results
The log entries cannot be read without eye strain since they are in low contrast to the dark background. Currently, the text is #69a1b2 while the background is #131c26. Ideally, the text should be white while the background could be black, or close to black.

The different parts of the Browser Console should not blend in with the background:
1. The buttons on the top toolbar
2. The filter area on the top right 
3. The JS eval area on the bottom
They could have a white background with black, or close to black text.

Ditto with the buttons on the toolbar.

Other Notes
Gotta take care of the web developers who have been with Mozilla since the 1990s and may no longer have very sharp eyesight. :-)

Thanks for the report. This bug should be fixed in nightlies and aurora. Your next aurora update should include it. Please reopen the bug if the problem persists.
