A highly textured background such as this metal theme creates unnecessary noise, obfuscating the text eliminating the usefulness of the text placed on top. Possible solutions. 1.) remove all text OR 2.) remove background texture, you cant have both Suggested solution: Remove the background texture, the next is needed to indicate functionality on the form (otherwise why have the form right) Note: Texture in interface design is not a bad thing infact it can help draw attention to malleable interactive interface elements; however, it must not ever create a problem where no problem exists before as in this example. I understand that this is an experiment, but it's also unprofessional to expose via our UI. please don't do it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
