  • /e/ version: 0.18-q
  • Device model(s): h850

Summary

Inconsistent icon colours at photo edit regime in Gallery.

  • Some Icons are grey and are highlighted when user taps the icon and activates the action (e.g. rotate)
  • Some icons are highlighted, but action has not been activated yet (e.g. crop) Inconsistency in icon colour makes it harder to navigate through option.

Description

What is the current behavior?

  • open and edit a photo in Gallery
  • The following actions are only an example. There are more icon colour inconsistencies in the app.

The user sees a row of actionable buttons/icons displaying more or less inconsistency:

In the Gallery, the icons are grey or highlighted correctly: the active function is highlighted. IMG_20210930_134622
Choose a photo, the menu to choose from is highlighted completely. This is confusing. IMO, all icons should be grey. IMG_20210930_140010
Choose edit, the icon menu is OK. The active action is "None" and it will be executed on save. IMG_20210930_140049
Choose crop. The two crop icons are highlighted. Only the bottom crop icon should be blue. The top crop icon has not been tapped yet. IMG_20210930_141114
Tap the top crop icon. Highlights and greys are OK. Except, I would change the blue highlight of the X and checkmark to grey also. IMG_20210930_134647

What is the improved behavior?

All icons except the activated or active one shall be grey. The active icon shall be of theme colour - taking into account #2952 (closed) (blue currently).
