With a device this small, removing a significant part of the colour gamut that can be used for distingushing states is a bad thing. Sometimes it's practical to do this, and where it can be done it's a good thing.
Please - don't talk about removing things (like color). Just use your imagination - if you are making an indicator (offline / online for example), think about other ways you can make the state of the indicator visible in _addition_ to color. An offlline indicator could have a "broken" image, or an image with a cross or a stop sign over it for example. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
