I'm ok with the highlight of the active filters. Active states are marked with highlightColor. Even tags in the Tag Cloud, when active, are highlighted with that color, also the table headers when they have an active sorting.
What I don't understand is why you think you need to add another color to the Color Theme class. If you think the color is too light then the client should modify the color in his Color Theme to add more contrast with his theme.
Well, my feeling is probably due to the proximity of the sorting highlight and not only the color used. We have used light red for a similar option on client site, see http://observatoirebbc.org/site/ObservatoireBBC/MoteurRecherche for a sample. I do not say this is a sample to follow blindly, but you will see that this more highlighted :) (design there is not my choice !)
There is a process to enhance the actual Color Theme variables. There is a page on incubator
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ColorThemesExtensio... where is a proposal for a new Light Background Color and also a study of the colors we would need for the Error/Notifications Messages.
Ok, I have quick look to that, but it definetly require more attention. It would be nice to have a page on XWiki.org describing the rationale behind current choices, so we keep on track when evolution requires changes. Denis -- Denis Gervalle SOFTEC sa - CEO eGuilde sarl - CTO
