Re: Enhance Contrasts in Emacs GUI (with additional comments)

[Richard Stallman]

    I'd like to ask you to _enhance the contrasts_ in the Emacs GUI between
    Buffer Borders and text. The contrast between text and its borders or
    the scroll buttons and the background is rather low,

What exactly is a "scroll button"?  That isn't terminology I am
familiar with.  Does it refer to the buttons at the top and bottom of
the scroll bar?  I'd expect them to be easily identifyable because
they're in the scroll bar.

Or are these something else?

    Another helpful, user-friendly feature could be to color new messages, 
    or input requests in the minibuffer, to attract the attention of the 
    user.

When you say "color new messages", does that mean that a message would
be first displayed with one color (the "new message" color), and then
changed to another color (the "old message" color)?
