Accessibility Concern with new Asset Page Background

[dcashpeterson]

          I saw today's post and notification about the gray background update, but I can't find any information about why the gray background was added.  This background color actually makes the assets very difficult to read due to the poor contrast, and it is going to cause issues for individuals with vision challenges.  Can the gray background be removed or changed to a _much_ lighter color?

Hi - would like to add that we have concern about this as well so hope that a) the text can be made black b) the background can be lightened, thanks

@clarelcampbell Accessibility is 100% on our radar screen for Microsoft Learning Pathways. I checked the contrast ratio of the pages and they currently meet WCAG AA contrast ratio standards for all text, form elements, and headers. It does not meet WCAG AAA standards. I am meeting with the team to determine what we can do about this. I will keep this issue updated with progress.

Any updates about this? Besides the dark background making it difficult to read, I don't recall the font being this small in the previous interface either.

Hello! We are aware that trying to fix one thing created more issues and are trying to work through those right now. Unfortunately, there are more hoops for us to jump through than we anticipated but we're trying to get to a solution as fast as we can. I hope to get a fix in place this month.

Hi there, I wondered if there was an update on this? The length of the grey box continues long after the end of the content (see attachment). It's a greta feature which I use a lot, but this issue means I can't use the feature without the webpages looking amateurish. Any update would be appreciated. Many thanks, Tom

@TomMeadows1990 the page height isn't an accessibility concern so it will not be tackled in this issue. We are working on addressing some technical challenges with the content see #786 for more details as they progress.
