Inconsistent use of colors makes for confusing and non-polished feeling UI |
||||||||
Issue descriptionChrome Version: 69.0.3487.0 OS: Win10 There are two very noticeable inconsistencies in color usage with the UI refresh. 1. See the attached screenshot. It shows a tabbed browser and a popup. Notice the color of the omnibox is visually the *same* in both. Yet the omnibox in the popup is not editable, while in the tabbed browser it is. Generally a gray background means uneditable. 2. The active titlebar for tabbed browsers is white with a single tab, otherwise gray. When transitioning between between the two states there is a very noticeable change that implies something more dramatic happened. As a user I'm left thinking something else changed. An animation would *not* help this. I have no doubt there are *reasons* for these changes. I'm filing this bug to make sure you consider the impact of inconsistent UI.

Responses to your two concerns are below. I read this more as sentiment and impression, rather than a bug, so I'm moving to Pri-3 for now. Thanks for the feedback, Sky. Re: 2 This feedback is focused around single tab mode, tracked at Issue 841643 as a P2, meaning it's not mandatory for our initial launch. In the meantime, we'll be evaluating the implications and the sentiment you've shared here. Re: 1 There's a slight shift in the paradigm for grey colored UI here but the sentiment for "grey means uneditable" isn't exactly true. Win10's native GUI is highly reliant on grey for their interactive components. We'll be applying similar paradigms to our secondary controls in due time (issue 822803) so this is a small piece of a larger visual design system.
