Curl Docs Viewer IDE flaw

[RobertShiplett]

We have not set the control-content-background for the search fields in the UI such that with black text, setting the Windows background to black or anything dark renders the fields unusable.

Setting control-content-background is easily overlooked as the default window value is often thought to be white whereas the default for a windows frame is transparent. When Windows programming was done in C, this was learned early on, but it is often over-looked in web applications as can be seen by making a change to a default theme and then visiting many sites which believe they control their color theme as a matter of design. Not so if the style sets color but not background color for an element.

For a Curl Control, the issue is not setting a a background but setting the control-content-background.

Can we fix this? I have long asked that we opensource the DOCS Viewer codebase.

Hi Robert,

Sorry for late reply.

We are not planning to provide docs view as open source since Curl is not opensource product.
