Light mode nitpicks

[MikeTO]

These are incredibly minor display issues in light mode which could be saved for a rainy day when you're bored. 🙂

The Current Formatting control at the top of the Text Styles panel has a border style applied to the inside of the control which cuts off the descenders of the text. There is no border in dark mode so it looks fine there.

The icons in Picture Frame Properties should either have a border applied or be modified so that their background grey colour doesn't almost exactly match light mode's default grey colour. They just disappear into the background of the popup.

This one drives me nuts.

I have the issue in dark mode as well.

Here's another example but this one presents in an interesting manner. If AfPub is started in dark mode, inserting an index mark is not cut off even if you switch to light mode in the same session. But if you start AfPub mode in light mode, inserting an index mark will be cut off even if you switch to dark mode. There's something different about starting up in light mode than in dark mode.

+5  The Assets panel has the same issue, with much worse consequences because assets themselves can be nearly invisible (obviously, this depends on the specific assets!), unlike the picture frame icons.

However, some assets will be invisible in Light mode, while others will be invisible in Dark mode. No single choice will work for the Assets panel.

They could still put a border around the asset space, which is what was requested in the original post of this thread.

And they could be somewhat more expansive about "mode colors", for example, using checkerboard to indicate transparent areas instead of the mode default background color.
