Dear Emacs developers,
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, which makes it
sometimes difficult to orient oneself especially if multiple buffers
are displayed at the same time (and your monitor is not very good in
contrasts). Maybe by adding some colored borders???
Another helpful, user-friendly feature could be to color new messages,
or input requests in the minibuffer, to attract the attention of the
user. This could also be applied to windows that pop up (cf. reminding
of appointments).
Thanks for your effort.
Yours,
Wilmar Igl

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?

or input requests in the minibuffer, to attract the attention of the

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)?
