* Browsing: I don't like the blue background of "Browse topics" when the
ToC is open. This looks like a button (actually, it doesn't, but in the
same way as buttons on newer parts of the mediawiki UI or on facebook
don't, so one might think it's a button). The function of that area is
somewhat comparable to that of a 2-state button, but those shouldn't be
labeled with a verb that only makes sense in one of the states.
Me too. Likewise the blue background and shape of the current filters looks
like a button. What happens if you click it?
* Marking topics with recent activity: the color
we're familiar with in
this context (from e.g. history pages) is green, not blue.
Yes, when you follow a Permalink to a post in a topic, that post has a
green left bar (example
<https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:S12prb6trf24nhkz#flow-post-s6qnyrhqagbuap44>).
But when you click on a "Hhhippo and 2 others responded" message
notification, there's an extra parameter fromnotif=1 that causes Flow to
highlight that post and newer ones (example
<https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:S12prb6trf24nhkz&topic_showPostId=s6qnyrhqagbuap44&fromnotif=1#flow-post-s6qnyrhqagbuap44>).
I don't like the two colors, we should pick one and preserve the thick bar
for the actual reply and a lighter one for newer posts, there was a bug or
Trello card comment about it.
(A gadget writer could add a client-side "Highlight newer posts than this"
action: fame and fortune awaits)
