    Hi Nicolas, nice to talk again. Well done on this new plugin. It works like a charm and I have not found any obvious impediments for the approval. You are cleared to land now, welcome to the Plugins directory!

    Michell,
    Have you followed the installation procedure? See the relevant section of the plugin documentation, linked from the top of this page ("More documentation...").

    Nicolas,

    I'd like to point you to https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-46531 where a patch to make the font and background colors editable in CSS is already in the works.

    But I like your solution to have a configuration option in the Moodle admin GUI even more.

    Would you be able to create a similar problem for background colors in Atto?

    Thanks in advance!
    Alex

    Hi Alex,
    Thanks for pointing this out. I'll follow it closely, to try and avoid having two developers solve the same issue in different ways.
    As for the background colors, I guess it would be very similar to make, but we don't have any plans about this (yet).

    We've put together a list of font colors, which are in conformance with the Web Content Accessibility requirements at the AAA Level.
    These are the colors:

    #c00000
    #008000
    #0070c0
    #800080
    #d60093
    #3c3c3c
    #737373
    #ffffff


    I suggest that these colors should be the moodle default.
    It's important to note that these colors are only accessible on a white background. The theme that’s being used must be considered when choosing a set of font colors.

    I'll suggest to let the default colors be the choice of the Moodle administrator.

    Plus, are you sure that text in #ffffff color on a white background is accessible? Did I misunderstand something?

    Hi Nicolas,
    You're absolutely right!
    text in #ffffff color on a white background is definitely NOT accessible.
    I forgot to mention that the white is the only exception on the list.
    The reason we've decided to include it, is in case somebody wants to use in on a dark background.
    (With hope that our users are sensible enough to use it wisely)
    smile
