Yikes, that's no good. Are you able to see the fourth icon from the top when
you view http://github.com/jab/couchdb/blob/master/share/www/image/compact.png?
If not, maybe it's your monitor's brightness/contrast settings; if so, maybe
your browser was using a cached copy of that image? This would explain your not
seeing the icon, as the old version of the image was only 96 pixels high, and
the new button.disabled style sets a vertical background-position of -94px.
I'll append a ?0.10.0 to the url for that background-image in the css file to
make sure this doesn't happen.
> go ahead and make those fixes and we'll get this committed.
I pushed the fixes to http://github.com/jab/couchdb. I'll have a new patched
attached to this ticket tomorrow.
> Feel free to flip a quarter on grayed vs hidden.
I'm inclined to leave it grayed out, and not just because it was extra work!
(It was fun anyway:) My theory is that graying it out actually does communicate
its state better than not showing it at all. Maybe your not seeing the icon
properly screwed up that communication. And also your eyes and mousing hand
like it better when widgets stay where they are; sometimes having them
disappear violates the principle of least astonishment[1]. I can get the
opinion of one of the designers in my office tomorrow. Or maybe just give it
another look once I submit the new patch and you can see the grayed out icon,
and let me know if you still prefer it hidden!
