Check Close Button Contrast

Reported by matteosi...@gmail.com, Sep 13

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.81 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Move the mouse cursor over the "x" close button of the current tab

What is the expected behavior?
1. The button should be of a decent size, so that you don't have to be a f****ng surgeon in order to be able to click on it

2. There should be very evident visual feedback that the cursor is over a button. Usually this is accomplished by changing the background color of the clicklable area of the button significantly when you hover over it.

What went wrong?
1. The button, and especially its clickable area, is freakishly small. It is significantly smaller than it used to be until some recent version.

2. The difference in color when you move the cursor over it, is BARELY visible if you look at it very carefully. If you don't, you easily don't even perceive the change. The luminance value changes from 95% to 93%!.

I attach a screenshot of how the button looks like when the mouse cursor is not, and when it is, over it. You can't see the cursor itself in my screenshots because Ubuntu's screen capture doesn't capture the cursor

Did this work before? Yes very, very recently

Why does this f****ng bug tracker keep forgetting the account I log in with?? I always switch to this account, which is the only one I ever intended to use here, then from time to time, I come here and I'm silently logged in with the account I use for gmail and google, and I often realise only after posting a bug.

Please some admin either change the owner this bug to this account (teo8976@gmail.com) or delete it entirely and I'll report it again with the right account. Do NOT close it unless you **DELETE** it.

The button's size and click target shouldn't have changed meaningfully.  Is there a specific version where it looked larger?

I agree that the contrast in your screenshot is very poor.  My Windows box isn't that bad. Seems like we may have a bug on this theme where we're not calculating the contrast correctly.
> he button's size and click target shouldn't have changed meaningfully

Maybe I got the false impression it has become smaller because the tabs have become bigger.

It may also be that the (almost complete) lack of the visual feedback that used to help me immediately know when the cursor was over the button, is also making it "feel" smaller just because it's more difficult to click on it.


Btw, can you confirm that the change in appearence of tabs is intentional? They used to look like this:

and i really find it hard to believe that somebody would decide that the new ones are better.

Yes, the change in appearance is intentional (it'd be very hard to do that unintentionally).
> (it'd be very hard to do that unintentionally)

I know. To clarify, just so you don't think I'm crazy, my doubt was that it could be Chrome failing to override some underlying OS theme  or something like that.

Summary: Check Close Button Contrast (was: In the new ugly tabs, the close button is smaller, less visible and less usable)
The close button is actually larger. Do a quick contrast pass and then close as appropriate.
