[Bug 851917] Re: Twitter and Identi.ca icons confusingly suggest deactivated Facebook

 

Oh ha, I just noticed there actually _is_ an arrow next to the Facebook
icon, just that it's purple and thus hardly visible on the dark
background. Perhaps Facebooks default colour should be something lighter
than that.

** Description changed:

+ UPDATE: I missed it at first, but the Facebook icon when broadcasting a
+ new message is accompanied by a purple arrow. This colour is hardly
+ visible on the default black background, so perhaps Facebook's default
+ colour should be set to something as light as Twitter's and Identi.ca's,
+ to make sure it's always just as visible as those are.
+ 
  As screenshotted in [1], in the new Gwibber, the icons for Twitter and
  Identi.ca have little arrows next to them. I have no idea what these
  mean, but Facebook does not have one even though my settings for all
  three services are the same. This led me to wonder whether I had
  accidentally disabled Facebook broadcasting and spend a few minutes in
  confusing while investigating this. If the arrows are only part of the
  icons for kicks and giggles, it would improve usability to remove them,
  I think.
