UI: Use Color to Clarify Icon Statuses

Posted

Hi,

Visually, I find it less-than-obvious to tell when many of the Synfire toggle icons are on or off.

 

IMO, these states should be totally obvious!

The only change currently between on and off is a slight lightening or darkening of the icon's background.

I suggest both

a)  a more profound change in the background, along with 

b) an optional color change in the icon picture (instead of remaining white)

Ideally, the non-white icon color would be user selectable.    There should be a good default color choice, of course, but no one should be left out.   IOW, if an individual has a perceptual issue with the default color, they should be able to change it to get relief.

Thanks!
