New issue 3659 by [email protected]: Task bar appearance does not make
sense
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3659
Pharo 1.2rc2
Pharo core version: 12330
The buttons in the task bar are:
- frontmost window: gray background + black text
- background windows: gray background + gray text
- hidden windows: blue gradient + gray text
To me these are bad affordances, because gray text signifies "inactive or
hidden" and color background means "active" or "current" (see the
instance/class side buttons in the browser. So I'd change the appearances
to reflect that:
- window visibility = text color (black = visible, gray = hidden)
- gradient color = blue for the frontmost window\
