Display issues on Chromium-Edge in Windows High Contrast Mode

[gdh1995]

(issue on philc/vimium#3604)
Hello,

When Windows HCM is enabled (PrtSc+LAlt+LShift) on Chromium-Edge (Version 83.0.478.54), vimium doesn't render its elements properly such as 'open link' (f,F) or the help menu (?)

@BlackenedPies Could you try this version ?
vimium_c-1.83.4-edge-b6c3a35.zip

If it works, then you will see white-on-black hint markers, and a readable help dialog, like:

The issue is with the 'text' color setting. When I select the preset for 'High Contrast Black' (like you're using), it works, but as soon as the text color is changed to any other color, it breaks. Is it possible to force it to a different color?

Also, in Chrome, vimium sometimes uses a yellow-white color scheme that's difficult to read. This appears to be caused by the extension 'Darken' along with the #enable-force-dark flag. Is it possible to force a default color scheme such as brown-yellow?

Thanks. I'll test the new color scheme in days.

As for Chrome, the #enable-force-dark is indeed annoying, and up to now I haven't found a way to change the "white" text color.

Here's a work-around: we can change the background color so that the text can be easier to read. You need to add css to “Custom CSS for Vimium C UI”:

.LH { background: green; }
.LH { border: 0.5px solid lightgreen; }

This idea is from another user (#111 (comment))

Added: I've added it into the Wiki: https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c/wiki/Style-the-UI-of-Vimium-C-using-Custom-CSS#work-with-enable-force-dark

Then this version should work: vimium_c-1.83.4-edge-c7c6bf9.zip

Vimium C v1.84.0 has been published on Edge.

Thank you for adding the workaround to the documentation, and for crediting me on it. :)
I hope it can save others some frustration and time going forward.

@BlackenedPies Vimium C v1.84.0 has been published on Edge and you may take a try.

[BlackenedPies]

Thanks!!! Edge works!

Could you clarify the usage of how the code should be placed within 'CSS for Vimium UI'? I was unable to change the appearance of the Chrome hint boxes with it

.LH { background: green; }
.LH { border: 0.5px solid lightgreen; }

[gdh1995]

On v1.84.0 it should work in normal mode (neither high contrast nor #enable-force-dark), so what's your detailed situation?

BTW, v1.83.4 has a bug affecting custom CSS, and please refer #152 (comment).

My mistake - I was using 'Vimium' on Chrome and not Vimium C
