If this is a requirement for this non-text part, then it doesn't just affect the panel actions:

1.81:1:

This is regarding color contrast of icons.
@misolori and me are having a disucssion and we will decide what to do here.

I think in this case it’s referring to the focus border color.

You are correct. Renamed the issue.

Updated this issue to reflect all focus treatments in all areas (from #99426) like Activity Bar, Sidebar, Tabs, etc.

@isidorn in order for us to properly fix this issue, we'll need to make sure that the focus border color passes the 3:1 ratio on our lightest background (in this case it's the activity bar). After playing with the blue color, it appears that #007FD4 is the one that will pass the contrast ratio, but that color is significantly brighter than before (which personally I am fine with).

@misolori thanks for looking into this and for finding a good color. I think the focus being more visible is perfectly fine, and the new color still blends well with everything. I personally prefer it to the previous one, simply because it makes the focus more clear.
So feel free to push this, especialy since this is a start of the iteration so we get feedback.

fyi @bpasero

Will add this today and we can gauge the feedback. This also applies to our Light theme, so will update that color to #0090F1

Great, also works for me in Light.
