Description

Some of the buttons in the pagination button group of the redirects (and other) module are disabled if they do not apply.

In TYPO3 v10 the difference in styling between the active and disabled buttons was more noticeable. Since v11 this has changed so it is more difficult to see the difference between the active and not active buttons.

This may be an issue for accessibility, but also a general issue.

Examples¶

The buttons on the left side (|< <<) are disabled. The ones on the right side (>> >|) are not.

TYPO3 v10¶

color: rgb(215,215,215) = #d7d7d7

TYPO3 v11¶

color: rgb(115,115,115) = #737373

Is Regression set to Yes

Suggestions from Slack on usability / accessibility:

problem probably was created by increasing contrast of dimmed buttons for accesibility (which would be an improvement if they were not now so similar to the active buttons), https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/

Possible solutions:

A possible solution is to use a thicker stroke for the enabled buttons.
Remove the disabled buttons - also removes visual noise (either entirely or leave an empty placeholder). In the case of the empty placeholder so that the buttons will not change their position. This is already being done for example in the list module:

action button placeholders
