Roundcubemail: Elastic: Enhance the contrast in the color scheme

[MichaelGNicholas]

My email provider refers to Roundcube in their About section in webmail. Until about a year ago, the email interface was different.
This new webmail is terrible to read because the color scheme has no contrast. It is pale blue on white. I can't even see the embedded links unless I accidentally hover over them and a popup shows up. The "Send" button for mail and "Save" button for settings I can barely see. It took me a long time to find them since they are buried at the bottom of the page.
I don't know why in the last couple years it seems all Apps are adopting this contrast-less color scheme. Please enhance the contrast and use darker colors instead of pale blue or grey.

Try adjusting the settings of your monitor. On one screen I also was not able to see which messages I have selected, on other monitors the ligth blue background was visible. On the monitor with the low contrast there was I setting: Rate of black, which I changed from low to normal. This did the trick for me...

Just to respond to @manfredu, and sorry if I am stating the obvious:
Yes, if your monitor doesn't show contrast correctly then even "regular people" will have a hard time seeing things. Given that the colors are so close to each other in the elastic theme (eg: #f1f3f4 to #ffffff) that is quite possible to happen.

However, it isn't just monitors. I have had people looking at the same monitor as me: I could see the horizontal lines for list separation and highlighted messages just fine, while 2 other persons could not see them at all (the horizontal lines) or only with a lot of unreasonable effort (the highlighted message).
See #7225 for some suggestions on better colors. I think at least the highlighted message color change would be easy to integrate with little resistance from other folks.

• Macbook pro laptop at home
• Fujitsu Laptop
• Fujitsu computer screen

The blue is not enough "dark"..

We also have user report that they find some items lack contrast, eg the selected items. A bit more contrast in the color palette would increase usability for a lot of people.
