[Desktop-packages] [Bug 393585] Re: Focused/unfocused selection colors are confusingly similar
ubuntu-ux was a dummy project for the purpose of getting the opinion of Canonical’s platform design team. That team no longer exists. My view on this, however, is the same as it was when I commented in April 2010. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393585 Title: Focused/unfocused selection colors are confusingly similar Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Invalid Status in community-themes package in Ubuntu: Opinion Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Problem occurs with: Ambiance, Radiance, Clearlooks, DarkRoom, Dust, Elementary, Glossy, Human, Human-Clearlooks Does not occur with: New Wave For example, open a Nautilus window and select an icon. Switch focus to the desktop by clicking on it. The window is not active but the icon in it retains the "selected items" color. It appears as though it is still selected and that it can be modified by keyboard shortcuts. By clicking on an icon on the desktop it changes color to be selected an now it appears that two items are selected. Several times I've deleted things by accident due to this, especially when I was new to GNOME. I would have several windows open with items selected. I would see the item I want selected and hit the delete key to remove it, only to realize that I had some other window focused where I had deleted something else. In Windows selected items in unfocused windows turn gray. I think it also adds another visual clue as to what window is focused besides just the title bar. Firefox and Thunderbird deliver the behavior I expect (probably because they are only faux GTK apps). Select some text in Firefox and then focus to another window and you will see that the selected text turns gray, indicating it is not active. Try that in gedit or evince and the text will remain blue.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 393585] Re: Focused/unfocused selection colors are confusingly similar
The Nautilus use case still seems to be a "problem" but I'm not sure design would see it that way. If anyone would like to continue with this bug we should assign it to ubuntu-ux for further input first. ** Changed in: ubuntu-themes (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Opinion ** Changed in: community-themes (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393585 Title: Focused/unfocused selection colors are confusingly similar Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Invalid Status in community-themes package in Ubuntu: Opinion Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Problem occurs with: Ambiance, Radiance, Clearlooks, DarkRoom, Dust, Elementary, Glossy, Human, Human-Clearlooks Does not occur with: New Wave For example, open a Nautilus window and select an icon.
