Why the forum's font colors are so ugly and hard to read?

Hi, many thanks for this great software and this forum, which has been extremely helpfull!

I encountered the same issue on Fedora / Firefox and the problem seems indeed related to the montserrat font. Vivaldi on the same computer is not affected.

On the OMV forum,it seems that firefox uses the system (src local) font "Montserra Thin" (weight 100), witch displays as very light and barely readable. The weight css property doesn't have any effect on it :

On the other hand at https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Montserrat/tester I can change the weight and "variant" (instance menu) and the regular variant (weight 400) displays correctly.

And there, the font displayed is not the local one, but the remote version "Montserrat variant0"

I'm unsure if it's an issue with fedora,firefox etc.. or if something can be done on the forum. However, as a quick (and dirty!) workaround, I added a rule in ublock to remove the problematic 'Montserrat' font family from the css, witch make the site readable :

forum.openmediavault.org##body,input,select,button,.button:style(font-family:"Segoe UI", "DejaVu Sans", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, sans-serif !important;)

Zitat von chente

Have you tried dark mode?

The dark mode theme has the same behaviour (perhaps even less readable).

The only theme that works fine on firefox is the voltlab suite, but as uglyforum pointed out it requires to be logged in, as well as the dark theme.

I confirm that with Firefox 120.0b6 (64 bit), on Linux, logged in or not, it is unreadable

With other browsers there is more contrast and the interface definitely works better.

May I suggest a simple edit?

On style-2.css, line 6735, it is possibile to change color with a darker one and remove Montserrat, ex.

color:#212224;
font-family: "Segoe UI", "DejaVu Sans", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, sans-serif;

Thank you,

Riccardo

I couldn't figure out how to use Vinceh's ublock rule so I made a custom style in Stylus to remove the problematic font. It looks like this so far:

@-moz-document url-prefix("https://forum.openmediavault.org") {
    body,input,select,button,a.button {
        color: #2c3e50;
        font-family: "Segoe UI", "DejaVu Sans", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, sans-serif !important;
        word-wrap: break-word;
    }
}

It's a little annoying to have to redo this when I use a different computer or switch Linux distros but it's the only way I can read anything on the site without logging in and changing the theme.

Just sharing in case it can help anyone else.

Joined to say this has still not been fixed, and it would take only about a minute to do so. Just remove "Montserrat" from the list of fonts when the site loads:

Logging in and changing the theme to "WoltLab" loads a different font by default, fixing the issue.
