The replies indicator line is too low contrast to discern

[Bossett]

Describe the bug

On iOS (at least), the line connecting profile picture to indicate a reply is too low contrast to reasonably discern:

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Reply to a post
2. Navigate to post on iOS, observe line

Expected behavior

Contrast should be higher, or indicator should be thicker/redesigned

Details

• Platform: iOS (maybe other mobile; very screen dependent)
• Platform version:
• App version: 1.68.0

I can't actually tell. Is this dim or dark? We're about to fix up dim right now and hopefully get it released soon, but if this is dark we might need to look at that as well.

The screenshot is from dim. Dark is a little better:

Dark:

Dim:

On the PC screen I can clearly tell those are different themes, but on the phone screen (iPhone 14 Pro) they are almost indistinguishable.

This is a biggish a11y issue

We made some changes to contrasts in this upcoming release, going to leave this open though for feedback after 1.69 comes out, so feel free to respond or @ when it does.

[Bossett]

This is much better for me in 1.69 - my concern in raising the ticket has been addressed.

Not sure if anyone is able to comment on the accessibility aspect?

@jghiloni Pinging you since you had mentioned it. Curious if you have any thoughts on whether this is better and/or if there are any additional changes that could help?

[jghiloni]

Orders of magnitude better, thanks!
