In version 41, the color of all footnote indicators, verse references, and other links in bibles and non-bible books was changed to a painfully bright and vivid blue. Prior to version 41, a comfortable and non-distracting dark navy blue was used to identify these items.
Suggestion:
Please add an option for users to select the color of all footnote indicators, verse references, and other links in bibles and non-bible books from a list of available choices to include the prior dark navy blue, as well as the current bright vivid blue.
Even if the available colors in this option were to only include these two choices, it would solve the current problem by providing those of us suffering from the bright vivid blue resource links the choice of using the previous dark navy blue color, while also accommodating users with vision needs causing them to prefer the current color.
Further Explanation:
The bright vivid blues now used throughout the application to my eyes are distracting, uncomfortable, and often painful to look at. The recent placement of these colors within the actual text of bibles and non-bible books has made what was already a difficult situation worse because it more directly prevents those of us who are sensitive to these bright colors from the fundamental action of comfortably reading the text.
This decision by Logos to make resource links match all other links in the application appears to represent a dramatic change from their approach in prior versions. According to training videos I’ve recently checked from Logos 10 back to Logos 5, each of these prior versions used the same dark navy blue links within bibles and non-bible books that were recently lost in version 41 and in none of these prior versions did the dark navy blue resource links match the links found elsewhere in the application.
In summary, the prior dark navy blue color used for links within resources was for my eyes perfectly distinguishable yet pleasant and non-distracting. The new bright vivid blue resource links are so uncomfortable they often make the text unreadable. I believe this issue requires a customization option since vision needs vary among users. Therefore, I submit this suggestion as a viable solution.
