Research direction

Reproduce on the demos page at the linked URL by turning on a Windows contrast theme, or by emulating forced-colors: active in browser DevTools. Find which slider parts (track, selection bar, handle) disappear, then trace their styling in the ngx-slider component's CSS and templates. Done when the slider's track and handle stay visible and distinguishable under forced colors, and the normal theme looks unchanged.

Description

Test Environment:
OS: Windows 11[Version 25H2(OS Build 26220.9587)]
Edge: Version 156.0.4314.8 (Official build)
Test URL: ngx-slider

User Impact:
Users with low vision who rely on high contrast themes may be unable to perceive the slider control, making it difficult or impossible to identify and adjust the associated setting.

Prerequisites:
System settings > Accessibility > Contrast themes > Select themes and apply

Repro Steps:

  1. Launch the URL: ngx-slider
  2. Press tab key to reach to "Slider" control.
  3. Observe whether, on Applying high contrast themes, Slider control is visible or not.

Actual Result:
When a high contrast theme is applied, the slider control is not visible on the page.

The slider control should remain clearly visible and distinguishable when high contrast themes are applied, allowing users to identify and interact with it.
