Analytics - Problems with black colored tasks in dark mode

EvenVestadEggerud

Hello.

If you're using dark mode, and one of your tasks is set to the color black, it's not possible to see it in the information bar that appears when hovering over. See attached picture.

WorkingHours version: WorkingHours Pro, version 2.9.14.0
OS + version: Windows 11 Pro 21H2

What solution would you suggest to solve this problem?
Isn't black generally a bad task color when using the dark theme, not only in the analytics screen? Any particular reason you use that color?

timo Hi Timo. I've seen that other apps, for example outlook, changes the text color to white when the background color becomes black. Maybe that's a solution? The option to select black is there, so I just wanted to let you know about this "issue". The workaround is of course to change to something other than black.

The Outlook text doesn't have a color that the user sets, it's colorless text basically. But with the tasks in WorkingHours, the users explicitly set a color so it's a bit different.
I will think about it, but I wouldn't consider it as a bug as it's working as intended.
And if I would change the text color, would I also change the bar color...?

timo No rush, I just wanted to let you know. I'll just use a different color to see the text for now. 😊

The latest chart rework should resolve this problem
