Currently in the Appearance section of Bartik, a live preview of a chosen color scheme is displayed as an image. This section uses Latin placeholder text, "Lorem ipsum . . . ." The problem is getting users to understand the Latin is JUST A PLACEHOLDER. Participants in a Drupal usability study at the University of Minnesota in 2011 expected it to be the live preview of the site with THEIR content. Looking at the Latin text, one participant in the study said, "What's this? French?"
In this thread from May 2011 to December 2014, contributors have narrowed in on recommending a patch to change the Latin text to repetitions of the English words "Sample text." Other suggestions have been to make the text translatable or to embed the content of the actual site as an iFrame. Placing "sample text" is the most simple of the solutions and would look like this:
Sample text
Block of text (re-arrange sentences so line lengths don't repeat)
This is a block of example content. This content is here to demonstrate what actual content would look like in the color scheme you configure. This is an example link, is is here to demonstrate how background colors you configure may affect the readability of links.
