Maybe change the checkbox colour isn't a good idea because it will lower usability in the sense that people might not see any more that it is a checkbox. Proposal 3 and proposal 4 can achieve the same thing and be even better. The current blue arrow is a little strange, a black border will be probably better. > A thing I don't like with the current arrangement is having to use the > third button to change layer colour (good luck with laptops...) when it > can be usefully done in this way: > - Click on the button: change color > - Click on the layer name: change layer hum, don't know, this way will be pretty hard for people to guess the functionality. the current middle button click functionality is also quite hidden (but I like it). Maybe a simple "right click - change layer color" is easier. Alternatively we can put and edit link at the bottom of the layer panel. Edit button would maybe also difficult to guess, or maybe not. > > I think the layer name is sufficiently big as a target to click to > change layer :D also the whole 3D border for the button is not needed > for the colour swatch, a simple flat border would suffice (thing about > the GIMP color indicator) completely agree, as long as the is a white border when not selected. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
