<br>* I am one of the significant minority that gets headaches from bright backdrops. All my UI:s are set to dark colours. Your mock-ups presuppose white backdrops, which not only looks bad for us with dark colour schemes but also is actually painful. I would recommend that the colours auto-adjust, or that you prepare a dark scheme too.<br>
