The tabs "Sources", "Notes", "Media", "Stories" and "Album" on the Person's View indicate in gray letters if they are empty. There is nearly no difference to the black letters if they contain text. This is the same behaviour in all themes.
I would like to see at the first view, if there is content in one of the tabs or not - especially when there are stories related to the person.

Recommendation: Indication of content via one of the following methods:
  • a different colour of the tab itself
  • a different colour of the text
  • a number following the text, which counts the number of content records (that would be very nice)
  • or something comparable

Thanks for evaluating this enhancement wish.

For the webtrees theme, the text colour is #555
This is very light. I think it should be a little darker.


The link colour is also #555.
So is also impossible to see which text is a link.
With a mouse, one can hover over text to find links.
With a touch-screen, this is not possible.

Does anyone have any suggestions for colors?

Perhaps #333 for text and #336 for links?

Thanks for the quick response!

Why not #222 for text (or even #000) and #22C (or even #00F) for links?

Best regards, Peter

Hi Greg,

in my opinion the colour for links should be like the background-color of the search icon in the minimal theme. This blue is old school and expectet by most visitors.

Thanks for the opportunity of brain storming.

I know I'm a nonconformist, but on my pages, I consistently make non-visited links #880000, visited links #000088, and hover links #660066, with no underscores.

My rationale is
  • Red calls attention more to unvisited, instead of the more common use of bright red on visited links.
  • The brighter colors and underscores used by default are too much of a distraction when just reading. Gives a misleading illusion of emphasis.
  • Changing color on hover serves as a reminder that it is a link, and helps prevent clicking when your "almost there."

I do vote for the "how many" in parentheses.
