As animuson notes, the problem is that the #dddddd
gray of the horizontal rules has almost exactly the same luminance as the #e3d9d9
pink of the deleted answer background.
Fixing this minor issue should be simple enough; either add an extra CSS rule for <hr>
s in deleted answers:
.deleted-answer .post-text hr {
background-color: #c3c3c3;
color: #c3c3c3;
}
or possibly even change the existing style to work on any background:
.post-text hr {
background-color: black;
color: black;
opacity: 0.125;
}
(Also, for the sake of consistency and least surprise, the CSS probably should have the same styles for .wmd-preview
as for .post-text
.)
Edit: While waiting for the SE devs to fix this, I have added the following CSS rules to the Stack Overflow Unofficial Patch, a collection of client-side CSS and JavaScript fixes packaged as a GreaseMonkey-style user script:
.wmd-preview hr {
background-color: #ddd; color: #ddd;
}
.deleted-answer .post-text hr,
.deleted-answer .wmd-preview hr {
background-color: #c3c3c3; color: #c3c3c3;
}
