What is on Your Mind?

(Neo Testing)

My old eyes didn't see any color difference between the text in a link and text that is not in a link in either FireFox or Safari on macOS High Sierra (version 10.13.6) on a 2 year old or 4 year old MacBook Pro.

Now that you tell me there is a difference, I can see that the link text is a very slightly lighter black if I blow up the text to at least five times its normal size.

So, yes, I very much want to change the color of the link indicator color to make it stand out more!

Sorry for the confusion. My sight isn't as good as it used to be.

Test:

This is a BBCODE_URL

Hey Don,

Can you see GREEN? LOL

Code:

jQuery(".neo-bbcode-url").css({"color":"rgba(41, 219, 53,1)"})

Or maybe you prefer purple or red? LOL

Now Purple

Code:

jQuery(".neo-bbcode-url").css({"color":"rgba(177, 47, 237,1)"});

Is that better, or do you like green, or red, or gold?

I can see green and I can see purple (or magenta). So either one would be OK.

In the macOS Mail application and in Google Mail, links appear as (underlined) blue text; so I'd prefer blue. I'm surprised that both macOS Mail and Google Mail use underlining as well as color when you say that underlining is no longer used for links.

I'd prefer not to use red text to indicate links (if underlining isn't also used) since red is frequently used in posts to show changes between two segments of code in CODE tags.

I use GMail (Google Mail) online and there are no underlines in any links, zero; and the behavior is the same (adds underline and color changes on mouseover).

Sorry, not Google Mail. I meant Yahoo Mail. See screenshots below of a mail message in Yahoo Mail viewed in a tab in Safari and in macOS Mail in a window of its own. All of the underlined blue text in both screenshots are links to external sites.

The mail message that is being viewed in both shots was composed in Yahoo Mail. The blue underlined text is the default appearance. The italics were added manually by the person who composed the message.
