Hard to distinguish between letters in/out of range

[misaugstad]

I find it surprisingly difficult to distinguish between the letters on the keyboard that are in range vs out of range. Some things we might do to make it look more clear:

• decreasing the font-weight for invalid letters
• changing the text color for valid letters from #cccccc to something closer to #ffffff (while keeping invalid letters as-is)

I'm sure there are other bigger changes that could be made to the color scheme instead, but above are some simple improvements IMO.

Thoughts?

Thanks for your input!

I like changing the valid letter color to #ffffff. I think I'll do that.

Decreasing the font weight of invalid letters does separate them more, but I'm not sure I like it aesthetically.

I see you added a screenshot, are you using the high contrast mode?

I should probably do something about the fact that there is more contrast between valid/invalid keys in the normal mode than in high contrast mode.

It does feel marginally worse in high contrast mode, but still difficult either way. Yeah I tried high contrast mode because the keys were hard to distinguish 😅

[vegeta897]

Here's the normal mode with slightly darker background on the valid keys, is this sufficient?

[misaugstad]

Hard to fully say without using it, but from a quick look on my phone, it still feels kinda strained to read.

I think I'll leave the default keyboard mostly as-is, and do an overhaul of the high contrast mode keyboard.
