Change the color to the Control bar in Gallery object 
Auteur : Sinisa B.I got a question from my client - he didn't know how to view the full screen preview of the product image in the gallery.
I have told him that he needs to click on the "full size preview" icon.... He told me that he hasn't seen it nor he knew that clicking on this icon will do that...
He was just clicking on the thumbnails to see the full size preview (like 95% of the visitors would do).
As I wrote - probably 5 times so far - THE CONTRAST IN THE CONTROL BAR IS BAD! (see below)
Please allow us to be able to CHANGE THE COLOR OF THE CONTROLS!
Incomedia - instead working on a high-tech stuff - pleased fix those "little" but important things (I can give you a full list of similar fixes if you want).
If you keep forgetting about this - I would use a great thing called: TO DO LIST.
There you can write everything what needs to be fixed in the upcoming updates.
Elisa or Stefano - please do not write me back that the IT department has been notified about this - you have written me this months ago.
I'm not asking for the impossible - this is a fairly easy thing to fix!
Thank you!
Hello Sinisa,
As far as I know you can change the control bar's background color of the gallery.. is this what you meant? you can set a darker color to make the text stands out

Thank you for your answer!
I'm aware that I can change the background (the bar) color - and the icons colors are set automatically(this is an issue!) - because the CONTRAST between the chosen bar color and the icon color is super-weak...
Setting black or a dark color works good to me

But what if your client says that she/he wants that the bar color should be light gray or orange?
You will then say to the client: "No, I can not set the color the way you want because the program will automatically give me the bar-command color which is not visible enough..."
Embarrassing!
I know that this could be fixed with CSS - but I bough the licence so I DO NOT HAVE TO CODE ANYMORE!
The point is: you should be able to set the bar-commands color what fits your site's color-scheme the best WITHIN THE PROGRAM GUI! (the same way you can change the bar background color)

@ Incomedia-still waiting for your valuable input.
(this is an old nuisance - please fix it!)
Hello Sinisa
I can surely understand how this would benefit the Object and I can confirm that such an idea was proposed some time ago.
For the moment, I must confirm that no news on this is available at the moment. I will, however, turn this topic into an Idea so that the matter can be highlighted again
Thank you for your feedback

As I can understand - Incomedia is not a big company...
...could you just walk to the guy (or girl) and ask him/her to fix this?
This was already an IDEA - I got IDEAS and IDEAS but nobody reacts on it...
I get that you have to follow the procedure for fixing things - but Incomedia is not APPLE... smaller companies should fix things faster, don't you think so?
@Sinisa,
Which object ?

Gallery object - but I want that this to be fixed by Incomedia.
I'm sick to CSS anymore...
Thanks Sinisa,
Like many pro editor companies, I asked long time ago (in yrs !!!) to have a bugtracking website for us (customers)... To have possibility to check / see bug list, priority, and fixing date/version...
Not to add a bug ... but to have possibility to know when each issue will be fixed...
Nothing... And we need to wait with no guarantee to have it into the next release... It is not a normal situation but an Incomedia situation ...
Full agree with you that it's complicated...

Yeah, I know... The giant like ADOBE would react quicker...
Hello Sinisa
Opening an Idea is the correct way to proceed for such a matter
Since this is an improvement that the software would benefit from, it is to be marked as such so that the developers might take note for this for future updates. All ideas are kept under consideration, but this does not guarantee that they can be implemented in a short time. Please do not consider Idea topics useless, as they are the primary way of letting the Staff know what users care the most about and can help give priority to some matters over others
As of now, there's not much else I can do for this matter. Rest assured that it has been notified so that it might be discussed in the future
Thank you

I thought that IDEA topic should be one to improve the software - but this issue is so small that it should not be called an IDEA at all! The bar command color should be customizable, because the commands are not visible (enough) in many cases.
It is basically a "bug fix"...
I can guess that it will not be looked into anytime soon - but if you think that the developers will finally see it and dealt with it - please, activate my old post (or this one) as an idea. Thank you!
