Item9577: Wysiwyg protected styles not reflected in editor

Only with verbatim a watermark background shows the text state. It is useful to have this for the as protected marked texts as well (now you need to look at the style dropdown which style the text has).

Additional watermarks is a great idea.

However, the colour of the new watermarks (PROTECT ON SAVE, PROTECT FOREVER, LITERAL) is the same colour of the content (i.e. topic text). This makes the content harder to read because of reduced contrast.

The watermark text is smaller than the old verbatim one, which makes the watermark text harder to read. The old verbatim watermark used a much larger font which compensated for the lower contrast.

The PROTECT ON SAVE watermark is applied to spans, so the watermark text is only ever readable in large spans of whitespace. This particular watermark has hurt the legibility of the topic text to the extent that I have disabled it locally.

I have thought of making the watermark light gray but that will reduce instant recognizability. Perhaps a gray text with colored stripes works better.

I have used a smaller font so that the text is readable if the block is no higher than 1 line. With the previous large VERBATIM text you only saw the top of the word, and for the other blocks that do not have a padding this would be worse.

Thank you - PROTECT ON SAVE is now much better. I have enabled it again

The light blue also works for LITERAL.

I do find the red-on-blue from PROTECT FOREVER to be a bit harsh on the eye - perhaps because they are of similar brightness but almost opposite on a colour wheel?

I will change the PROTECT FOREVER red in the css.

We discussed the possibility of using chili's colours. However, the chili highlighting rules are for TML and they do not map well to the representation of TML within TMCE. In the end, I decided to change the PROTECT FOREVER text to a darker orange-red.
