# Version 3 Text Colour

 * Is there any chance you could reconsider the new green text colour used for the
   plug-in and maybe, increase the font sizes slightly? Or give us the option to
   use an alternative ‘theme’?
 * Whilst I love the new updated version the green small text is difficult to work
   with and questionably not very ‘accessible’.
 * I just know that clients are going to find this frustrating.
 * Please…?

 * [@joshbiz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joshbiz/) – Any chance you could
   send a screenshot of what you’d like to see changed? Just want to be sure a) 
   we’re clear what you’re talking about and b) that what you are seeing looks like
   what we are seeing.
 * Once we have that, I’ll share it with the team and we can review what’s possible.
 * Thanks.

 * Yes, sure.
 * See [this screenshot](https://www.josh.biz/images/screenshot.jpg)
 * It’s the green text which is an issue. Wherever it appears (throughout most NextGEN
   screens), the contrast between the colour of the text and background isn’t sufficient
   and it won’t pass accessibility tests.
 * This is accentuated by the text being quite small. I never had an issue with 
   previous versions. The buttons (with white text on green) are also poor.
 * Not surprisingly, it fails [the WebAIM accessibility test](https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=9FBB1A&bcolor=FFFFFF)(
   text colour #9fbb1a against a white background #ffffff.
 * I don’t have any visual impairments but still struggle to read the green text,
   wherever it appears. Those with impairments such as colour blindness and similar
   would certainly struggle. It ought to be as accessible as possible and this, 
   IMO, is a backwards move for the plug-in, despite the great new design.
 * I haven’t ever seen any other plug-in interface that uses such a poor colour 
   choice for important text and contrast. I love the new design but this text colour
   is dreadful. There’s no harm in using the green as a general theme colour (I 
   like the shade) but not for essential UI components.
 * I hope you can appreciate my comments and attend to it.
 * Best wishes,
    Josh.

 * I’d also like to add that the grey text should also be darker too.
 * This also fails text contrast accessibility guidelines: [Grey text test result](https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=AAAAAA&bcolor=FFFFFF)
 * If you drag the slider for ‘Lightness’ left, you can easily see how much darker
   it ought to be to meet accessibility guidelines.

 * Thanks [@joshbiz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joshbiz/) for the detailed
   input. I’ll share with team for discussion, and have us experiment with some 
   changes to keep the feel but improve on accessibility/contrast.
 * [@anna-blume](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anna-blume/) – thanks for adding
   your vote.

 * _No, do not do that._ I’ve removed the vote post.
 * That isn’t what these forums are for and the topic will get closed if that happens.
   These are support forums and if someone else needs support then per the forum
   guidelines please start your own topic.

 * That’s prohibited in these forums as it’s been horribly abused in the past by
   others. Yes, bad people ruin it for others. Please refrain from that.

   to post a sticky topic where you can have that vote and conversation on your 
   site. But do not have that vote on this site, that topic will get closed once
   it’s up.

 * Hey Jan – You’ve done a great job in the forums for a long time. Thanks for monitoring
   and keeping them tight. Sorry if I’m pushing (or breaking) boundaries 🙂

 * Hi,
 * thanks for updating to V3!
 * As far as the already mentioned poor contrast of the text (green and grey) is
   concerned I fully agree to that. Please encrease the contrast significantly.
 * Maybe that I’m not fully familiar with NextGEN features, I’m just a beginner.
   But where (in a gallery) can I see the file-size of the uploaded pictures and
   the file-size and the px-size of the thumbs as well?
 * Thanks für your support in advance!
 * Best regards
    Werner

 * I think you should start a new thread for new/different subjects. The forum is
   quite quite strict about this, for good reason.
 * You can click on image thumbnails when viewing a gallery in the back-end (under‘
   Manage Galleries’); this shows you the enlarged version. The pixel dimensions
   are shown next to each thumbnail. I think you have to FTP into your site to see
   the file sizes (wp-content > gallery >). And you can set image sizes under ‘Other
   Options’.

 * you are right, I start a new thread.

 * Yup, as noted above, probably best to start new thread especially if you have
   separate issues (ie, image sizes).
 * We have noted your feedback on the contrast. And [@joshbiz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joshbiz/)’
   s response on image sizes is correct.
 * Thanks!
