It says "you can do something here", just like the items in a menu, the mm/mil button, the tools buttons, the route styles and the scroll bars do. > IMHO, if > we do anything to indicate prelighting, it should be (at least) as > subtle as my color change. Whether this highlighting is subtle or a glaring contrast depends on the users GTK theme. I have seen both among the most downloaded themes at gnome-look.org. This is a basically a user decision, not something, the developers should care about. > And I am not entirely sold that we should be doing anything. Every item, that can be clicked should be highlighted on mouse-over. Only items that cannot be clicked or dragged should stay silent. Surely, the gnome HIG says something along these lines. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Email: k...@familieknaak.de http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x6C0B9F53 increasingly unhappy with moderation of geda-user _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
