Style Change Respected#
Test Type Performed#
User style changes respected (critical).
Artifact Evaluated#
Plotting interface. Specifically, evaluating the interfaces for all charts in our test environment: line, bar, table and scatter plot.
Results Summary#
Plotting interface does not respect a user’s custom styling changes when trying to use a high contrast setting. (The data table does pass.) See “Notes” section at the end.
Expected Behavior (Pass/Fail)#
FAIL - Styling changed by the user must be respected. Chart must not interfere with or override styling changes made by the user (such as importing a custom style sheet for use in an HTML application or web site).
Image or Video of Failure#

A scatter plot is shown. A high contrast filter has been implemented, and the web browser background is black with yellow font. However, the chart space retains it’s default color scheme - the contrast change was not applied (fails).#
Steps to Reproduce#
Using Windows contrast themes, choose Night Sky (high contrast) option and apply.

Notes#
This test is somewhat of an umbrella of all the tests that come after. First, we test: text styling, zoom assistive tech, and contrast options. If any of those separate tests fail, then this test fails.
