General comments
- Since color is used so sparingly throughout the UI, it draws additional attention to the icons that feature red and green in particular. Clear output should have not have a particularly strong visual presence imo.
Explorer
- Why is the folder filled in brown and not white?
- Why does the collapse all button feature a blue
-
, why is it a different blue than the one used in the status bar?
Search
- Why is the red
x
an inconsistent style with the x
used elsewhere?
- Why does the clear icon feature a different light gray than the other icons?
- Why is there a dark border around these icons in particular?
Git
- Why is the tick icon a different weight, why isn't it solid?
Debug
- Why is the debug output icon so short?
- Why is the deactivate breakpoints button feature a circle filled with black (vs transparent used elsewhere)
- Why is the close all button filled so it's inconsistent with the collapse all?
- Why does the close all button button have a black border when collapse all doesn't?
