Description Benno Schulenberg 2007-11-14 20:54:46 UTC
The colour green that is used as the background for the stable plusses is far too dark: on my screen it's almost black and I can' see the "+".  To be readable, the green should have at least the brightness of the green of the words "gentoo linux" in the logo.

Well you seriously should fix your settings if you see green as black on your monitor. It looks just perfectly fine here.
Comment 2 Benno Schulenberg 2007-11-14 22:36:05 UTC
Could you please sod off with your insulting comments.
Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-14 23:09:57 UTC
I don't see what's insulting here, except for your comment. 

The color is green and if you can't see the difference between green and black, then either your monitor is broken, your settings/ICM profile is broken, or you are colorblind.
Comment 4 Benno Schulenberg 2007-11-14 23:19:35 UTC
Please, get the friggin moron away from me.
Comment 5 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-14 23:29:47 UTC
May I ask why you keep insulting me? 

In case you still don't get it: green == stable; yellow == ~arch; red == masked (kindly see the Legend on the right side). As such, this whole complaint is entirely pointless.

I think something is wrong with your monitor.
Please re-calibrate your gamma, this site will help: http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html (the monica tool is in the tree as of 5 minutes ago).

jakub: I don't think it's colour-blindness, if you try this tool out:

(should come up with the acpid package that has all 3 different flags, and rendered for Deutan colour-blindness.

Well yeah, unlikely... the only one about matching the description is http://tinyurl.com/2rxuff (which in not color blindness in the strict sense)

No response from the original user when asked to test the color calibration on his  display.
