Bug#709544: Please un-remove HighContrastInverse

[Adam C. Emerson]

Package: gnome-themes-standard
Version: 3.8.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Please reinstate the HighContrastInverse theme.

The solution the GNOME developers propose in the changelog of using
a compositor for inversion fails from a usability standpoint for the
reasons analogous to why fiddling with their DPI isn't a substitute for
changing font sizes.  (Being able to have a consistent color scheme for
all standard widgets without distorting all colors in an application is
important.  Imagine if you couldn't change colors of text in a webpage
without affecting the colors of all the images.)

Second, compositing may not be available on all platforms, and making a
vital accessiblity feature depend on it is not the most wonderful thing
in the world when providing it is so trivial.

Thank you very much.
