New keyboard accessibility plugin demo - Image Viewer design

[Jennifer Chow]

Hi Jonathan,

One small suggestion would be to invert the star colour. I think darkened
stars with solid grey colour (and grey borders) might help convey "filled
stars" and white stars with grey borders might help convey unrated stars. It
could be my apple-conditioned bias, but I associate dark with filled and
light with empty in this context.

Some visuals to illustrate:
