Trying it in trunk, I agree it does look a bit annoying. Besides flickering as you move over them towards other things, the icons look disabled at the very moment you want to click them. I'd rather this was reverted, if that's okay. -- Treat Categories on the homepage as buttons https://bugs.lau

It looks like the aforementioned branch is now merged into trunk, so you can checkout trunk and see what you think. I personally am not sold on the change, if prelight effect is sought i think something subtle in the bg would be nicer. Anywho, we should await mpt's feedback before marking this bu

Now the highlight has gone again.. :( The text+icon get highlighted only when pressed and not on hover. We can do a similar highlight when hovered. Note that in Nautilus browser view and in unity too, the objects highlight when we hover over it. SC is the one which behaves odd here. Re-openin

"Distracting from what" = distracting from whatever you're actually aiming at when the pointer happens to pass over the thing that has the mouseover. Mouseover effects should be used only when showing the affordance all the time would make the interface too busy, and that's certainly not the case h

I wouldnt say that mouse-over effects are distracting , if they are subtle. [Also, distracting from what ? ;p ] The present main window is non-reactive and rigid. Having a mild feedback should make these departments feel more like "You can select me now and see things i have to offer inside." T

There are dozens of possible ways we could make the departments more clickable without using mouseover effects. So one way you cou
