Un readable context menu text in some apps

I have been using e/os in my FP6 for a month or so. I have this issue that wont allow me to read the context menu options in certain apps because of the low contrast. I don’t exactly how to change it. I know there is a high contrast option however that is only a temporal fix.

Even the message that appears when loading the built-in image editor:

Any help is appreciated.

is “Pegar” for Insert? those are bugs introduced by /e/os theming. Can be solved mostly by setting a color variable in res/layout/ xml somewhere. That string in your screenshot is here, this locationInfoListItem needs a style.

I tracked a few of them down in issues, but even if I supply a 1-2 line xml patch they stay unmerged

“Pegar” is “Paste” I suppose that’s what you mean. So there is nothing I can do on my part? This is completely on e/os side?

yes, system side. I’m saying that “papercut” issues and their fixes can have a long turn over rate.

In any case worth to file a bugreport, no discouragement - but the proportionality from fix to effort required to land it is stark.

for Pegar / Paste, this UI widget goes back to the same code, so if it gets fixed, so will the paste contrast: Options for selected text not readable (#8953) · Issues · e / Backlog · GitLab
