<Swing Dev> [13] RFR JDK-8226964 [Yaru] - GTK L&F: There is no difference between menu selected and de-selected

Hi Phil/Kevin,

 

I have updated the code for the suggestions given offline. Now, we are not using YCrCb color model and just using the color difference in individual components of background and highlight color to change the highlight color.

The conversion to / from RGB and YCbCr look OK, but what you do to derive a new color is not. It will work for gray-scale colors, but if you deviate from gray it will drastically change the color, even generating out of range values if one component is small and another is large.

Here are some examples in YCbCr space :

orig color: 100, 50, 0
derived color: 112, 194, 99   (too green)

orig color: 55, 0, 225
derived color: 286, 32, 324   (out of range)

I think it will be better to convert to something like HSV (aka HSB) and do the lightening or darkening in that space. I tried a quick test program using JavaFX, which has built-in RGB <--> HSB conversion and that works as I would expect.

Here are the same examples in HSB space:

orig color: 100, 50, 0
derived color: 200, 100, 0

orig color: 55, 0, 225
derived color: 31, 0, 125

The if/else looks OK now.

But can you point to the exact the source you used for the formulas for RGB->YCbCr
conversion and the conversion back from YCbCr to RGB ?

Kevin & I were trying to figure it out and then Kevin wrote some test
programs to see how round tripping works and found some significant problems.

I'll let Kevin reply with his findings.

Hello Phil,

 

<< So why can't we simplify it to this ?

I was trying something similar, but your method looks much simpler to understand. I have used it. 

I think in line2,  instead of 

if (highlightLuminance + minLuminanceDifference <= maxLuminance) { 

you meant this. Rest I have used as such.

if (backgroundLuminance + minLuminanceDifference <= maxLuminance) {

Fixed

I am not sure about the logic in the if/else blocks.
The way it is structured and the way the conditions are expressed
aren't making it easy for me to follow, or perhaps I am just failing
to understand some subtle requirements.

And why do you do this ?

+                        highlightLuminance += minLuminanceDifference;


Suppose that the highLight luminance difference was already "99",
why do you need to add another "100" to it ?

It seems to me that once we are in the block where we've decided that
the difference is < 100, the goal of every assignment has to be to
make sure the highlight is exactly either 100 brighter or 100 darker than the
background, isn't it ?

So why can't we simplify it to this ?

                    if (highlightLuminance >= backgroundLuminance) {
                        if (highlightLuminance + minLuminanceDifference <= maxLuminance) {
                           highlightLuminance = backgroundLuminance + minLuminanceDifference;
                        } else {
                            highlightLuminance = backgroundLuminance - minLuminanceDifference;
                        }
                    } else { 
                        if (backgroundLuminance - minLuminanceDifference >= minLuminance) {
                            highlightLuminance = backgroundLuminance - minLuminanceDifference;
                         } else {
                            highlightLuminance = backgroundLuminance + minLuminanceDifference;
                        }
                    }

Two nits
1)  can we avoid "if(" and include a space as in "if (" >
2) There are some lines much > 80 chars.

Hi Phil,

Corrected

 

<< Some of the variable naming is confusing me.

<< So until I get clarity on the intent here I can't verify the correctness of

Yes, this is exactly what I am doing. I understand your point about naming. Once I have defined what is highlight and what is background, I should just use these for naming instead of menubar and menuitem. I have corrected the naming of variables used.

Some of the variable naming is confusing me.

Color highlightColor = style.getGTKColor(
+                        GTKEngine.WidgetType.MENU_ITEM.ordinal(),
 
ok so Highlight comes from MENU_ITEM
 
and background comes from MENU_BAR :
+                Color backgroundColor = style.getGTKColor(
+                        GTKEngine.WidgetType.MENU_BAR.ordinal(),

but then we assign menubar luminance from highlight which was got from menu item
and menu item luminance from background which was got from menu bar 

  double menubarLuminance = getY(highlightColor.getRed(),
+                        highlightColor.getGreen(), highlightColor.getBlue());
+                double menuitemLuminance = getY(backgroundColor.getRed(),
+                        backgroundColor.getGreen(), backgroundColor.getBlue());

Can you explain this ? Or is it wrong ?

I get further confused when I read .. 

+                    // when the highlight has more luminance and it's luminance
+                    // can be increased further by minLuminanceDifference
+                    if ((menubarLuminance < menuitemLuminance) &&

.. so menuItemLuminance is greater implying it is the highlight but we derived
it from the background.

So until I get clarity on the intent here I can't verify the correctness of
the logic that follows although I understand your intent as being to make
the highlight lighter so long as it is already lighter than the background and
you don't have to exceed max luminance to do it, and if that won't work make
the highlight darker instead. And so forth for the other cases.

Hi All,

Please review the following fix for jdk13.


Bug: 

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8226964

 

webrev

HYPERLINK "http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Epbansal/8226964/webrev00/"http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pbansal/8226964/webrev00/

 

 

Issue:

The menu is not getting highlighted on being selected. 

The issue is only reproducible on Yaru theme as the menu highlight color used by java is very similar to the background color of menubar. So the highlight is not properly visible due to poor contrast. 

 

Fix:

The fix checks that if the background menubar color and highlight color are very close, make the highlight more darker or lighter, so that it is clearly visible.

 

Testing:

The fix can be verified by running SwingSet2. I have verified this on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 19.04 and OEL 7.5.

Pankaj Bansal
