Re: Start and stop capture toolbar buttons?

FWIW: - Audacity uses a yellow square for stop. - Photoshop's macro recorder uses a blue square for stop. Though honestly, I'm pretty happy with our new icon set as-is. Perhaps changing the fill colour of the stop button (yellow, blue, other?) would be sufficient. Or, if we only ever display one or the other (so the capture button magically becomes the stop button when capturing) then red makes sense, although I'm not sure what the usability of that concept is. Just my two cents, Evan On Sun, Apr 7, 2013 at 8:12 PM, Guy Harris <guy () alum mit edu> wrote:

Also, the stop button in the first image in the latter search: http://sweetclipart.com/pause-play-and-stop-buttons-996 is all red - should ours be? Or, alternatively, should the square be red, like: http://www.telax.com/blog/2013/03/feature-friday-stop-recording-button (the start button being redder than the stop button might be a little bit odd - a red circle in a start button seems to be the standard, but maybe stop would be helped by a red indication as well). ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
