Not sure why this is listed as incomplete, but surely this is something that should be addressed as it's a bit inconsistent from an aesthetics standpoint. It's the little things that matter, and having the colors too closely matched is absolutely not acceptable by the vast majority of users out there. It's just too similar to tell apart. There needs to be a way to quickly and easily identify the application that needs attention.
For an idea, check out elementary OS. Their "pip" dots on their dock turn a bright red. Very easy to tell apart. Light sky blue and white, not so much. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

The colour of the default state is grey, not white. When a message is received, instead, the colour is light blue. With Skype, probably because of an optical illusion, the left arrow when in default state seems already slightly tint of blue, looks almost if there might be a message left by someone. Possible solutions: 1) Drop the colour on the Launcher arrows (pips) 2) Use a more different colour To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/1012204/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
