Description

the accelerator colors are yellow vs. white in menues and blue vs. black in dialogs. if the aim was to make the coloring subtle, then it was definitely a success ...
but there is a usability/accessibility aspect to that. a single slightly differently colored character may be really hard to spot at a quick glance - depending on ambient lighting, monitor settings and personal vision capabilities.
with egmont's attribute patch, the right solution is of course using underlines for accelerators. for the color-only schemes, i'd suggest using slightly more contrasting colors. i haven't played with it yet, so i can't make concrete suggestions.

in the red deletion confirmation dialog, the accelerator of the selected button is invisible at all - grey on grey.
(i think i've seen the effect in another dialog type as well, but can't find it now.)

Just for the record: the referred attribute patch (or a followup thereof) is at #3169.
