<br>Now the LED and text background have different color (green/white when<br>inactive, orange/green or orange/red if no match). One gets used to it, but<br>it is not consistent.<br><br>Proposal: inactive:green/green match:orange/orange no match:red/red</blockquote>
<div><br><br>I'm not sure to understand exactly your proposal...<br><br>Let's me resume :<br><br>- Search Text widget colorize background of text field in green if query is match else in red.<br><br>- Led function is different : it's an indicator to ping user if filter is active or not over icon view... that all. It do not report if filtering match something in icon view. We don't need that : just look if something appear in icon view, it's enough...<br>
<br>Unforget than filtering can perturb user if it's active. If user don't take a care about filtering status, he can see a dummy empty album where items are really on the way...<br><br></div>Gilles</div><br>
