Steps to reproduce

  1. Select the light theme in Windows settings (Personalization, Colors).
  2. Start Windows Terminal Preview.
  3. Open the Settings tab.
  4. Close the session tab. (Only to exclude it from screen shots.)
  5. Select the Actions page of the Settings tab.
  6. Press the Tab key a few times, to select one of the actions listed.

Expected Behavior

Should have a pencil icon at the right side of the description of the key binding.

The pencil icon would show up all right with a dark theme:

Actual Behavior

No pencil icon is visible, but if you press Tab once more, the focus rectangle moves to the invisible pencil icon anyway.

This belongs to the https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/6900 epic.

The pencil icon is likewise invisible when the mouse pointer hovers on an action while using a light theme.

I guess it is caused by the white foreground color here: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/227ec3777a216613c3796991d9bc01db6d184d24/src/cascadia/TerminalSettingsEditor/Actions.xaml#L243-L250

Should be using Theme Resources so the colour changes as the theme does

@mdtauk, when I first noticed the invisible icon, I had been using the light theme for several days (perhaps weeks) and even restarted Windows for the June security updates. That makes this bug different from https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/1230.

I wonder if this is an issue about the buttons which appear on hover, not appearing when the control is focused

@mdtauk, in that case, the bug would occur with the dark theme as well. It doesn't.

They certainly should appear when the control is focused 😄
