Hi,

I do not know if this is only an issue of Iceberg or of the themes in general:

Due to the topic of todays techtalk I added "DiscordSt" repository to 
Iceberg leading to the attached screenshot.

I wondered why there are only 7 packages while I was pretty sure that there
were more packages in the GitHub page of the repo.

So it LOOKED LIKE THE LIST ENDED/ONLY HAS A FEW ITEMS because the filter is 
displayed right at the bottom of the list.

You can call me stupid - but I initially thought of an Iceberg synch
synch issue were some packages were not downloaded/cloned - but then after 
several seconds 
I realized that the list just ends because of the filter area and there are more
items - one just has to scroll.

This is OK but I interpreted the white area of the filter as there is no 
further list item
instead of realizing the filter possibility itself.

Maybe I'm the only one but: as the (package) list background is white and the 
filter 
background is white too this is hardly to distinguish. Also the placeholder 
"Filter" 
is centered instead of right aligned ... 

So depending on windows size it is displayed in a wider distance to the list 
item text 
and one does not notice that the white area is a filter.

I guess a small thin line to separate the filter widget from the list
part of the widget would solve the issue. Would that be possible? If so is this 
only
an issue of Iceberg or the Pharo theme in general?

Also I wonder: the "Filter ..." placeholder label is centered in the middle. If 
one 
clicks into the filter the "Filter..." placeholder surprisingly jumps to the 
left.

I guess we have to catch up more with the usability of our tools.

Thanks
T.
