The color blind theme does not seem to apply to GitHub actions log viewer

[BYK]

See example:

The side panel uses the correct color (blue) for success while the main log viewer panel on the right uses green.

Hi @BYK – good news! The Actions log viewer now correctly respects the user's selected theme preference across all GitHub themes, including those designed to support users with color deficiency issues 🎉

@cehfisher @langermank thanks so much for all your effort on this. I'm testing "Colorblind Light" and "Colorblind Dark" themes based on the sunlight out there.

I did a few hard-refreshes but nothing seems to have changed on the GitHub Actions log viewer side of things for me. To clarify, since I associate "blue" with success in these themes, I expect to see blue checkmarks on the right side of the log viewer panel for each successful step. It's not a big deal as the check marks and cross marks make it quite easy to see what failed and what passed. It's just the inconsistency with the rest of the page where on the left panel where we see the "jobs", successful ones are using the color blue instead of any shade of green.

The SSO login button is now blue (vs green) now which makes it much easier to spot.

@BYK thanks for the info! The checkmarks within the log view (as seen in my screenshot) have always been grey unless failing. I don't believe we've ever shown a true "success" color for those specific checks. I can see how that's confusing, I just wanted to mention that it's not related to the changes we've recently shipped. We can pass this along and try to get a fix prioritized!

[BYK]

@langermank ah, so they are grey! (see, the colorblindness 😅). Yeah, I think that makes sense TBH so nothing confusing there or needs fixing.

[cehfisher]

Thanks @langermank for the clarification about the checkmark in the theme - from what you described, this was an intentional design decision and hasn’t changed with these recent updates.

@BYK it seems like your original issue has been resolved. Would you like to close out this discussion, or would you prefer one of us to do it? Or is there something else you’d like to see modified?

[BYK]

Yup, all good thank you so much!
