At the moment we have a green background for the results of a decryption and/or verification, if it was successful.
This does not work with high contrast mode.

And in case of GnuPG VSD a compliant signature looks the same as a not compliant one if you only go by the color and do not read the text.

Should you decide on only a colored icon / bar / whatever please keep in mind that a different color/shade for "valid but not VS-NfD compliant" would be good.

In high contrast mode the background should always be white or black.

Because color is a bad status indicator with regard to accessibility, we should think about using an icon as status indicator (additionally to color).

ikloecker moved this task from Restricted Project Column to Restricted Project Column on the Restricted Project board.

The problems with colors in high contrast mode were addressed with T6073: Kleopatra: Fix issues with high contrast resp. inverted color scheme. I'm not sure what's left to do. Setting to Testing for getting feedback what's missing.

Note that there is the idea to improve/rework the result overview: T6869: Draft: Kleopatra: Improve verification results messages (especially in case of invalid signature)
