Talking about popup windows...



  • For some reason I keep getting a negative feeling about the popup window design and styling. It's cluttered, inconsistent and immature.

    A few observations that can help make the design more crisp and consistent.

    • The triangle pointer on the edge of the frame is unnecessary. Feels a bit childish, like a LibreOffice or Powerpoint-like environment. Also does not match in directional sense with the black triangle above it.
    • Behandel het zwarte driehoekje als "more" symbool als andere.
    • Frame has too thick a line in my opinion, a bit blunt.
    • Be consistent with color and gradient swatches;
      – frame or no frame; (none imo)
      – square or rectangular; (square imo)
      – too much drop shadow, preferably no drop shadows behind (gradient) swatches (dirty).

    An exercise
    On the left the original, on the right with adjustments

    @Ayo I opened a bug on this. The drop shadow is controller by MacOS, but I think it can be disabled.
