Title <> Sort Title alert very subtle

phossler · 10-23-2019, 09:46 AM

Windows 10, 64 bit, Calibre 4.2, 64 bit

The red border color around the Sort Title (and other fields) is pretty subtle and can be easily overlooked.

The version 3 alert as I recall was much more prominent.

Maybe the entire field could go red if there's a mismatch?

Nope: That change was made because some color (darker) schemes made the text unreadable.
Are you running a high DPI monitor? Because the red border is very visible on a 1920x1080. (Now the green one around the Identifiers box: that is subtle

)

Yeah it was changed from a background color to a border because fixed background colors dont work well with different color themes. You will get used to the new border in a few days.

@theducks -- nope, just regular monitor. I can see the red if I look, but it didn't 'jump out' like before

@kovidgoyal -- understand. Is there a way to possibly make the red border thicker?
