Description

I suggest slightly changed colors for default theme in order to improve readability and appearance.

  • deeper black for headings (#content h1, h2, h3, h4)
  • vivid color for header (#top-menu / #header)
  • blighter gray for sidebar (#main {background-color})
  • deeper brack for headings in sidebar (#sidebar h3)
  • blighter gray for boxes (.box)
  • blighter gray for inactive tabs (#content .tabs ul li a)
  • lighter yellow for issues (div.issue)
  • blighter gray (same color with wiki.pre {background}) for wiki diff background (.text-diff)
  • blighter gray for scm background (table.filecontent / table.annotate td.line-code)

Tastes and colors... I personally prefer the current colors over the proposed changes (header would be too dark for me).

Thanks for your feedback.
I have updated the patch. The new patch does not change header color, only improves the readability of texts. I think current colors of texts are too light.

  • deeper black for headings (#content h1, h2, h3, h4)
  • vivid color for header (#top-menu / #header)
  • blighter gray for sidebar (#main {background-color})
  • deeper brack for headings in sidebar (#sidebar h3)
  • blighter gray for boxes (.box)
  • blighter gray for inactive tabs (#content .tabs ul li a)
  • lighter yellow for issues (div.issue)

  • blighter gray for scm background (table.filecontent / table.annotate td.line-code)

I think it's necessary to tend to use standard setting of redmine as a tool.

FYI, the patch cannot be applied on the latest trunk, maybe it should be updated.

I will attach a patch that has been modified to apply to the trunk.
@Go MAEDA, Would you confirm that the patched default theme is what you intended?

As for my previous comment in #23980#note-50 I think there is a need to modernize the theme colors. Is it possible in your opinion to foresee a release in version 6.0?

Alternatively, you could think of using an already existing theme as the default redmine theme (for example https://github.com/mrliptontea/PurpleMine2 or https://github.com/farend/redmine_theme_farend_bleuclair)?

It is my favorite theme but, in theory, PurpleMine2 is not maintained anymore although there have been releases this year.
