We discussed this in today's VDG meeting and came to the same conclusions:

  • With respect to colors, we would like to try to use the current Plasma Blue highlight color as the base accent color rather than choosing a new one.

I can replace it quite easily if you want but it might be a pita to implement with color mixing.

Done.

manueljlin added a comment to T12308: Dolphin UI redesign.

I have two concerns with the proposed (and current) UI.

  1. it is very unclear what the three different icons mean. Based on the last one, the black square is an item within a folder, a sub-item if you will. However, the first two icons contradict that notion.
  2. The folder icons with their sharp angles are not visually appealing and do not look professional. Maybe switch them for a less angular set of icons?

  • We want to make default buttons in Blue Ocean to look more distinctive by using the accent color for its background and maybe outline too.

By default you mean non-highlighted/selected?

Your design looks a lot better than the current one, my only fear is that some large context menus will be to large with this design.

manueljlin added a comment to T13451: Combine the best aspects from the various Breeze style proposals (Final style: "Blue Ocean").

However I'm not a fan of the yellow tooltip background. As for the slightly purple-ish accent color, while I really like that color in the abstract, I'm not sure it's the best for a default UI accent color. Maybe if it were a tiny bit bluer and less purple? I think moving towards the blue color in Andy's mockup would make Ocean feel amazing. But just a tiny bit.

So basically my vote would be Ocean, with a very very slightly bluer accent color, and dark tooltips.

Oh and Noah's tickmark slider handle FTW. :) That one looks so good to me.

Yeah, what does it do? It seems like it uses both an icon and the first breadcrumb as a way to display a path, which is inconsistent with the current design. I feel like that's the only thing that is stopping this patch from getting accepted as VDG

This reverts back to using solid(-ish) backgrounds for most things. This is fine with me and is more aligned with what we do on the desktop, but I'd like to make sure we don't go back to transparent again in two months.

Nice! The mockups use the same opacity that the plasma style has (85%), the color (FCFCFC) and also the shadow of a panel (dock, notification bar) so it could work with other themes like desktop plasma would.

jfyi that mockup used that type of tab only because rounded corners touching the toolbar and sidebar lines would look bad, not to actually change it. I'm not against this tab style but the blue highlight could be a bit more subtle (1-2px imo) and have rounded corners that still look round at 1x
