The spectrum of attention-grabbiness, if you want to think of it that way, is: - outline - dimmed - full mono - green - orange - red We don't flash :-) The coloured wants-attention messaging icon was nuked at my request because it was 3D, and our icons should be flat. I'm expecting a flat green version that we can test, soon. Yesterday would have been nice :-) The real question is one of taste and urgency. How urgent is a message, really? If it's something that we never want anyone to miss, we should go green. Otherwise, we could use the raise from dim to bright mono. > Further, why does the indicator-messages icon go dark (like when Bluetooth is turned off) just because there aren't messages? It suggests that there are no messaging apps running. > We should use outline-to-full to indicate that there are messaging apps running. Mark
