Color Consistiencies in Accessibility Update List

p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-

Heres a list of the inconsistencies I among others have found, that may want to be fixed:

On that number-type thing in high-contrast mode, the text is still white (low contrast).

Comment/Forum Borders

This is a normal comment. In 3.0 pages, the aura around the comment is purple. However, check out the border on 2.0 pages:

It's blue.

This is similar for forum posts, like this:

Changing Feature Project Border
Similar to the bug above, changing your featured project border is also blue:

Pin and Unread notifications are still blue
These icons in the forum topic list pages are still blue:
- the pin
- the icon

Unread Messages are Still Blue
Moderator notifications will still show up as purple, like this:

Unfortunately, normal notifications show up like this:

The text is purple though.

On read notifications, icons are greyed out

If you can see above, the little icon in the top left corner of the first message is dark blue in contrast to the light blue, but in read messages, like the message below, these icons are greyed out. I think this is likely an intentional feature, but it should definitely be changed if we are promoting visibility. Here are the grayed out icons for reference:

Loading screens are still blue

Sorry about the screenshot, I had to rush to take it.
This one pretty much speaks for itself.

Scratch Trailer still uses Blue
This is a really small one and idk if it should even be changed, but the trailer for scratch uses the color blue instead of purple lol.

Contact Us Popup still uses Blue

Kinda feels off when the entire page is purple except for the one blue thing

The remix button on the project page is a darker color.

However, when you go into the editor, the remix button is still the lighter green color.

Trouble and Planned Maintenance pages still use the blue color
https://scratch.mit.edu/cdn/trouble.html and https://scratch.mit.edu/cdn/maintenance.html are still using the shade of blue from the old scratch.

Issues with the Settings Page
The “Whoops, go back” arrow on the account deletion page is still blue

“You have updated your account settings” is blue

FIXED BUGS:
Forum Headers Have Blue instead of Purple
2.0 Pages will occasionally render as blue
Follow Discussion icon is bugged out
Thank you scratch team for paying attention and fixing these bugs!

They are now, so probably gonna be closed as it’s implemented.
Edit: noticed it’s mostly implemented, so that’s a bump actually

My guess is that these were things that they missed when developing the changes. To help them find and fix them, point out as many specific ones as you can. Examples I notice are the post headers, pin and unread message icons, and “follow discussion” buttons.

I love how people are making a blue-purple war. its sad of the blue-lovers to not realise that scratch could get sued for not being inclusive.

It's not all now, because there is still blue circles lol

sorry, but as of currently, I'm moving platforms, I can't handle the drama.

p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-

Can we move this to bugs and glitches?

Here are some more inconsistencies:

Login button on 2.0 pages looks just like the follow discussion button

Unread comments in https://scratch.mit.edu are shaded blue instead of purple (but ST notifications are purple)

The comment icon in the message page is blue (forum icon is purple so i was assuming this would be updated too, more on that below)

Suggestions:

Change the submit button on forums to be more accessible, It’s a little funny.

Change the comments icon in messages (https://scratch.mit.edu/svgs/messages/comment.svg) to be darker, because right now it blends in with messages.

The Support box on the Contact Us page still has a blue theme.
The dotted outline around editable text in the project pages is still blue.

That might actually be intentional, like the light blue background in the editor and on the studio page.

This is Maximouse's signature. Learn more about signatures.

But its not in 3.0 comments or anything in studios so I'm not sure about that.

EDIT: Nvm I don't understand what the OP is talking about, it works as intended for me.

Check out that blue pin next to my forum post. It’s a glitch. But it also means we’re stickied.

Could we possibly get an update from a developer at scratch to know what ones of these are looking into being fixed and which ones are intentional? That would help refine this list.

Thanks!

That Scratch trailer must be an older one because it still uses Tips and the red report button, so.. (I think I remember the red report button being in 3.0, not sure when they changed it or why)
Anyway, I think they didn't change the color on notifications because of the link color being purple. I wish I could bring back the old styled page though, and a lot more changes.
Also, I'm not sure if this is one of my extensions, but the forum borders were still blue for me, as well as on comments.

There's a blue dotted border around editable text boxes on project pages, like this:

Maximouse wrote:

When you click on it, the border turns purple and has a halo, so is it supposed to be purple?

Here's some more inconsistencies that I spotted:
* The tutorials show the old 3.0 editor.
* The “Around the World” section in the About page has a picture with white on blue.
* The Scratch-www section on the Developers page and the Starter Projects section on the Ideas page has the old 3.0-style sketches

I think the first one is intentional, and I don’t think the other ones have an easy fix.

I think I noticed another, half the crash message from the editing screen is purple and the other's blue.

I did that but didn't see purple by the way, it displays the same way as before the update, but it could also just be my extensions.
Anyway, hopefully my progress bar, record button, colors, whatever else are fixed soon.

First image is already reported, second image is intentional or I'm missing something wrong with it, and I added the third one.

Thanks for the help!
