Bug 199166 – Web Inspector: REGRESSION: Elements: the forced pseudo-class indicator isn't visible when hovering

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Devin Rousso]

# STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. inspect any page
2. right-click on any node in the Elements Tab
3. toggle any of the submenu items of "Forced Pseudo-Classes"
 => a white circle appears to the left of the toggled node
4. select a different node
5. hover over the node from step 2 (and step 3)
 => the white circle disappears

I think the real issue is that the hovered .selection-area div has an opacity of 0.3, making the ::before element hard to read regardless of the background color:

DOMTreeOutline.css:69:

.tree-outline.dom:not(.non-selectable) li.hovered:not(.selected) .selection-area {
    opacity: 0.3;
}

If we could break out the pseudo class indicator from the .selection-area that would be awesome.

If we break this out of the .selection-area, the indicator can continue to use --glyph-color-active and be legible. Granted, the contrast is lower in dark mode, but that is true of other UI as well.

r- for now, as I don't think this gives us the appearance we want in either light or dark mode.

[Matt Baker]

And are we sure this is a regression? Did it regress during the CSS variable changes made for dark mode support? Or possibly the changes to use the system accent color?

If so, please add the revision responsible.

Very nice! Colors look good in light and dark mode. Just a couple comments.

Should we be doing this? We didn't show the indicator in the console before.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/DOMTreeElement.js:1856
> +        if (!listItemElement)

Can we remove this local variable? Below `this.listItemElement` is used directly.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/DOMTreeOutline.css:41
> +    --item-pseudo-class-indicator-start: -2px;

This should still be 2px. The indicator is cut off otherwise.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/DOMTreeOutline.css:154
> +    background-color: white;

background-color: var(--selected-foreground-color);

r-, due to the indicator being cut off when the gutter isn't showing. Otherwise this change looks great.

We actually did, just not for the logged node itself.  If a child had a forced pseudo-class, it was shown (and updated) in the Console.
