Marius, do you have any idea what could be the use of having > this information (the number of the step)? I don't see why you would display the number of the current step (on the left) and not the number of the next/previous steps (on the right). The list of steps is an ordered list so it makes sense to me to show the step numbers. > > For colors, I disagree with you Marius, green (for done steps), blue > (for current step) and gray (for coming steps) seems pretty logic. > Maybe red could have been used for current step but red also often > represent warning or danger so blue seems fine. Or did I miss some > obvious color for a "current step"? You cannot hard-code the color (blue). It needs to come from the Color Theme.
