Navigator calculates three routes, marked by different colors on the map. It lists three alternatives in a black and white line below the map. In that line I am supposed to choose one alternative for my routing. How can I know, which route of the line matches to a certain color in the map?

Actually the font colour should match with the line colour, so the colour will tell which button to press:

Does it look differently for you?

Oldie

That would make sense, but on my Xperia Z1compact the fonts on the line are just black and white (Navigator 2.1.97) ...

@tomas
Looks like Oldie found a bug, please forward.

Oldie

@chattiewoman Thanks for insisting ;-)

tomas

very strange, no one else reported this
purple is first, green second, blue thrid

Oldie

I have asked in a Z1C forum, what that could be. That's, how it looks like:

I know the Xperia's can work with themes. These themes (can) work on the system but also in/on apps on loads of settings.

Did you apply some specific theme and changed the foreground / background colors?

(I don't have an Xperia myself)

Oldie

I am not aware, that I changed something there, but if I switch to different themes, there is no change either.

it can be missing alpha channel of colors in Navigator code

Oldie

I got it! This is a special setting of my phone called "text with high contrast, experimental". Certainely I had switched that on one day, experimentally ;-) . It is now switched off and I have the colored text as it should be.

Older people sometimes do need high-contrast text to be able to read it ;)

(I have glasses for reading)

I have glasses for reading and for distance vision B-)
