Is this a custom background? |
|
It is one of the Nextcloud custom backgrounds (picture). It is the second in row and column. |
|
Same Problem after upgrade from 25.0.0 to 25.0.1 with default blue color |
|
i had a theme in use and after upgrading to 25.0.1 the theme used is gone and i have the white background again with no app icon visible. |
|
same issue here when upgrading to 25.0.1 from 25.0.0 |
The question is rather why did the background not load ? I don't think we have a fallback for when the background sometimes does not load. |
|
also: open the network console in the browser when loading the page and see if there are errors there, there could be one related to the background image also: try a "shift+refresh" when refreshing the page, in cache there's a cache issue |
|
I replace on the settings the background image with a color and the error did not come back until now. So I just set one more time the image as background and the background is loaded correctly. Its sames like that migration works not a correctly. When the error occurred the first time, I reloaded the page with "shift+refresh" and the error came again and again. |
|
I cannot reproduce th error. Btw, selecting a custom color will remove the background. It's per design. I'd also like to know what background it is trying to load 🤔 |
|
If the background is white by default then why are the icons transparent per design? White icons on a white backgrounds are not visible to human beings. A novice user could not find a way how to make them visible. The color of icons should be according to the background not just white. |
|
i mean the background color of the whole application. i only see the icons if a background image is turned on that has dark colors behind the links. |
|
Well, how can we know if the background you selected has a bright top header? |
|
The icons should be visible no matter what the background. The approach of having them transparent is not user-friendly. It is a bug if no icon is visible as their visibility is not forced currently and without seeing the icons, it is not possible to navigate in Nextcloud unless they are an experienced user who knows to write direct addresses of applications. |
@piiskop But the background is not white by default is it?
@skjnldsv At least you could know if one has selected like |
|
Who is the one who designed the look of Nextcloud? They should be familiar with design and user experience principles. If an end user is allowed to change the background to any color then all the navigation elements must work with any background color. The icons must not be transparent if the transparency is not automatically adjustable. i am a user of Nextcloud for many years already and since i started using it i have not seen any remarkable improvements regarding user experience. Even now probably too many processes work in the background while opening the dashboard as opening it just freezes my computer too often. A nice improvement is making a modal window for events in calendar. But the email application still does not find some emails or is very slow. Nextcloud seems to be like a soup being cooked by so many different chefs who put in whatever and whenever they want without tasting meanwhile. This makes Nextcloud an awful solution for group work or document management. we have no better FOSS either, so it is the least-bad solution out of bad FOSS solutions. This is why i still tolerate using Nextcloud. |
AH! That's a good point. |
Nextcloud offers out-of-the-box theming with proper contrast and visible navigation. Now I'm actually gonna lock this thread, aside from HannesJo0139, that is trying to suggest proper technical solutions or ideas. You're just ranting an an issue we said we cannot fix @piiskop . This is now what github issues are for. If you have constructive and proper solutions to offer, please do. If you're just here to complain despite us providing enough informations, please reconsider :) Thanks ✌️ @HannesJo0139 , I'm gonna re-open a dedicated thread for this specific solution! |
