Ticket History #5611: NIM Standard view selected color difficult to read

NIM from either MIT KfW Beta 2 or from secure-
endpoints.com/binaries/mit-kfw-3-2-0/kfw-3-2-0.msi.

Vista or XP.


In the Standard view, the “Expires in” and “Default” foreground color
changes to white when the identity is selected. It is difficult to
read. It would be easier to read if those items’ colors were also
black and bold, as is the identity name.

When the default identity is not selected, or when an identity’s
background color is orange to indicate imminent expiration, the light
gray foreground color in the “Expires in” and “Default” text is
difficult to read. It should be black.

While we agree that the default color scheme could use improvement. I
believe the issue here might be the selection of the default typeface,
height and weight. You might want to play around with alternate font
configurations on the Options->Appearance page.

When you make the second line text black, the display becomes to hard to
read because the text of each identity block flows continuously into the
next one.

There are certainly things that can be done to improve the visibility.
For example, using different background colors for alternating rows.
Mockups of the proposed changes should be made so that they can be
compared with alternative ideas.
