Orange does not seem like a good idea, as it's very close to red. In my opinion, perhaps better (although not perfect) choices would be yellow (pro: benefits from the well-known traffic light metaphor, con: bad for light backgrounds) or blue (pro: usage of all pure extremes from RGB, con: non-intuitive meaning). > We should use outline-to-full to indicate that there are messaging apps running. Doesn't dimmed-to-outline make more sense? I guess that depends on what should be considered the "normal" state of the messaging indicator. If "normal" means "at least one app running", then dimmed-to-outline makes more sense, as no apps running would mean a "deactivated" state. If "normal" is simply the fact that the indicator is running, then outline-to-full makes more sense as apps running are "something extra". _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
