Make it easier to read: Make text on web activity pages larger and darker

[dgcasey]

I would like to see some of the pages made a little easier to read. Some of us old folks have a hard enough time reading the website without some coder deciding light gray text on a white background is a good idea. I mean, come on, there's some places where there is gray text on a gray background. Give us old folks a little help here.

For example: When I am looking at the analysis page (pictured below) it is needlessly difficult to read the numbers on the left side of the screen. Make the text bigger and make it black.

@dgcasey - I voted for this, I think accessibility is important (particularly font colors, navigation, etc), when taking considerations for the visually impaired (or color blindness).

As a thought though, you can adjust your web browser font settings to make the font larger (which would impact all sites), or you can use "hot keys" to zoom in/out when on a particular page (for instance, I'm on a Mac, and using the Chrome browser, I can hit "command" and the "+" keys to zoom in to read small font, then zoom back out with "command and the "-" keys)... could be a stop-gap for you for the size issue.

It seems like Strava needs a "Theme" feature. A lot of people ask for Dark mode and here we see High Contrast mode.

Hello. We wanted to let you know that your idea submission from August of 2022 will be archived. While this idea is interesting, we don’t have any immediate plans to implement this and currently aren’t able to prioritize this idea.

Please note that your feedback is valuable to Strava. As stated in our Community Idea Guidelines, we receive many idea submissions each week, and realistically, there may be various reasons that prevent us from including an idea on our Product Roadmap.  

We want to thank you for taking the time to submit your idea and we look forward to your continued contributions to the Strava Community.
