Please, please, please, please, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE fix the Help Center UI color scheme.

It was a very poor decision to use grey text color on a white background, or similarly a slightly darker text with a lighter shade of the same color background.

IT IS TERRIBLE FOR PEOPLE WITH EVEN SLIGHT VISION PROBLEMS!

Please, please, please, please, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE fix the Help Center UI color scheme.

 MM should hire a Human Factors consultant toreview your UI designs for readability and ADA compliance.

Although I'm not directly affected by this problem, it's a valid point that Anthony Begenwald makes and one I'm for ever pointing out to people (mostly young and thoughtless) who haven't given it proper attention.

Thanks for backing me up here, David.  I see this all over the place as well, especially from powerhouse companies like Microsoft, Adobe, Oracle, and Apple.  I write to them all the time, but few of them ever even bother responding.

When Finale 2014 came out, I (along with a bunch of us on the Finale Forum) complained about the new icon pallet.  They at least made a stab at addressing the issue, even though their final solution was anything but stellar.
