Re: CFC Add User Interface Component Contrast (Minimum) to Editors Draft

+1

From: Joshue O Connor

Hi all,

I placed older SC text into the CFC - The current SC text for this one is: [1]


Essential<https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/user-interface-component-contrast-minimum_ISSUE-10/guidelines/index.html#dfn-essential> visual identifiers of user interface components<https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/user-interface-component-contrast-minimum_ISSUE-10/guidelines/index.html#dfn-user-interface-component> have a contrast ratio<https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/user-interface-component-contrast-minimum_ISSUE-10/guidelines/index.html#dfn-contrast-ratio> of at least 4.5:1 against the immediate surrounding color(s), except for the following situations:
·         Thicker: A contrast ratio<https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/user-interface-component-contrast-minimum_ISSUE-10/guidelines/index.html#dfn-contrast-ratio> of at least 3:1 is required where the minimum width and height are at least 3 CSS pixels<https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/user-interface-component-contrast-minimum_ISSUE-10/guidelines/index.html#dfn-css-pixel>, for the essential<https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/user-interface-component-contrast-minimum_ISSUE-10/guidelines/index.html#dfn-essential> visual identifier.
·         Inactive: Disabled or otherwise inactive user interface components<https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/user-interface-component-contrast-minimum_ISSUE-10/guidelines/index.html#dfn-user-interface-component>
·         User agent control: The color(s) of the user interface component and any adjacent color(s) are determined by the user agent and are not modified by the author.

·         Examples of essential<https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/user-interface-component-contrast-minimum_ISSUE-10/guidelines/index.html#dfn-essential> visual indicators of user interface components<https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/user-interface-component-contrast-minimum_ISSUE-10/guidelines/index.html#dfn-user-interface-component> may include (a border, edge, or icon), current value (such as non-text visual indication of aria-valuenow on a slider) and current state (such as selection indicator, focus indicator) or other essential visual indication (which do not rely on color alone).
·         Under consideration: simplify this Success Criterion by setting the minimum color contrast requirement to 3:1 and removing any need for measuring thickness.
·         Under consideration: will review to see if it is possible to combine with proposed WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.11 Graphics Contrast.

Thanks

Josh
