--- Comment #33 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
There is pending branding/design work being done for 5.0 that will reskin the
StartCenter and Welcome/About panes. Until that is resolved there is no point
in this proceeding.

Comments 28 - 31 are somewhat onerous, and transcend the specific UI issue of
the poor Breeze icon contrast on background of StartCenter button panel, or of
the Sifr icon set fall-back to Breeze.

Regards a background color swap between the launch buttons panel and the
thumbnail view pane:

As implemented, thumbnail document views on the start pane are rendered, or
generic document type icons are shown, onto fixed 260 x 300 pixel panels that
currently show blue when the object is selected. That same blue is defined in a
gradient for selected button objects on the launch buttons. So it really is not
just two colors but also text contrast that needs to be judged. Rather the
whole default color scheme for the StartCenter and LO branding.

While we wait for resolution to the design work, not much can be done with the
Breeze icon set in 5.0, beyond possibly assigning a fixed color to just the
breeze icons used on the StartCenter, as in comments 16 - 19.  But then Pedro's
comment 20 is equally germane. And which the Apple Pages startcenter of
attachment 116326 suffers from.

Moving this back to UX advise, and enhancement since it seems to have drifted
away from the visibility issue.
