[Phpmyadmin-devel] pmahomme on LCD screens
Hi, I would like to share my experience and seek experience of others, about how active tabs are displayed in phpMyAdmin for the pmahomme default theme. On a LG Flatron W2243T, I cannot see the color difference between an active tab and the other tabs. On a CRT, all is fine. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info
The LCD monitor is showing you the better picture, as CRTs have a non-linear response to brightness (and colour) and need gamma correction (which people often don't bother setting up on their computers). That said, on my cheap TFT Acer AL1716 monitor I can clearly see the difference between active and inactive tabs with pmahomme theme. Rouslan On Thu, 2011-05-26 at 08:07 -0400, Marc Delisle wrote:

Finally I have a hardware "problem". I have two identical screens and the problem is only on one of them. However, by changing the temperature of the color on the defect one, I am able to see the tabs correctly. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

On my 14.1" WXGA LCD laptop, it is fine. I can see the color difference clearly. -- Aris Feryanto

There must be something really wrong with levels on this particular LG... Active tab has white background, inactive/disabled tabs have about 7% gray. I see the difference clearly on my Dell Precision M4500 notebook. Does anybody here have a business class notebook / notebook with poor LCD? My experience shows that it's easier to find poor LCD for tests in these than a standalone monitor. I have one at home (Dell Latitude E6500), but I can't check until Wednesday. For reference, I attached a screenshot so that we don't have to run phpMyAdmin to check how it looks. [1] http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/5642/tabsn.png -- Piotr Przybylski

Piotr, Maybe I was not clear; I'm talking about how a tab displays after it has been clicked. In your screenshot I see both Browse and Search are greyed ... and I see this on the LG Flatron. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info
