The current one does, I think. So we don't need to tackle the readability of white text on arbitrary backgrounds here. > Personally I'm very confused as it was the vdg's wish to have it blue. I hope our users don't take this negative. I would take it negative to see such a forward and backward. We have received a lot of negative feedback over the past year and a half regarding the blue color and have decided that the initiative was a failed experiment. On the contrary, I expect our users to appreciate the change because the current bright blur color is not popular. Listening to feedback is important. The blue background was not particularly well-received.
