:active buttons in 5.3.1. all look the same in different user colour schemes

[studiotwee]

This is a follow-up to #48598.

Are we sure that completely removing the custom button style when not hovering over a button is a good fix for this? In 5.3.1, all buttons have a blue outline, no matter if you are in :hover, :active or in default status.

In the screenshots below you can see the different :hover actions.

I'm all for a11y and this is a vast improvement over how it was, but it seems the buttons lost a bit of flair with this update. The buttons look incredibly boring and are not as in-your-face as they were before.

This ticket was discussed during today's accessibility bug-scrub. @studiotwee thanks for your report. To our (a11y team) understanding this relates only to the various "Add new" buttons, correct?

The "Add new" use different CSS from the default buttons and they went through some recent CSS changes. Regardless, it appears this is more a design / UI issue rather than an accessibility one. Adjusting the ticket properties accordingly.

Kelly @ryelle This might be a ticket for you to check out as well.

The "add new" styles were updated in [48342]/#50537. When hovered or focused, these links get slightly darker. The exception are schemes that are "low contrast", Ocean and Coffee, which get a background color.

Give that this was fixed in another ticket, I'm going to close this issue & mark it a duplicate.
