            Bug ID: 136079
           Summary: Improve visibility for highlighted text in Drop Caps/
                    other boxes.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: f.thaler at posteo.net

Description:
For older people (and for users that aren't paying close attention), it can be
difficult to see, whether they actually have highlighted Text in one of those
gray boxes. (see attached screenshot)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create Drop Caps (or use another way of creating one of those gray boxes)
2. Highlight Text

Actual Results:


Expected Results:
I suggest to not leave a majority of the area gray. Maybe use another color
(the usual blue maybe? Maybe use stripes or some other technique to still show
the user, that it's not regular text he's highlighting.)

Horizontal blue-white stripes could be worth considering.
1. This differentiates the marked box-text from regular text
2. It still keeps the text readable
2. It differentiates the marked box-text from unmarked box-text.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
