So i'm trying to understand how the wrapper for WebOS works, i'm not very experienced with web development but there is one thing that drives me crazy and i'm trying to understand so i can maybe fix it and make a contribution to the project.
My problem currently is, subtitles on HDR content are blinding, every time a subtitle appears on screen it brights the whole room, it's very distracting and uncomfortable watching media on a dark environment.
I've tried changing the subtitles color in the menu to gray (or any other option even) but to no result, it keeps appearing as solar flare white.
I was excited for the release of 10.9 because i knew that there would be a color selector, maybe that would allow me to change the color, but what happened was more confusing. The menu kept the same on the WebOS client, while accessing from the browser displayed the new menu where it allowed me to select whatever color i wanted.
I thought that it would be the same, since the WebOS client is basically a glorified redirect page to the web app, i imagine somewhere there is a check to see if the device supports x and y features and it fallback to something else to ensure the web project works with the biggest numbers of device possible, maybe it isn't possible to have a color selector on WebOS, but that doesn't explain why even changing on the current menu the subtitle doesn't change to the desired color.
Summarizing: The option for selecting the color of the subtitle doesn't seem to work on WebOS, furthermore the new menu for color selection is not present on WebOS.
