Because there's a column for that :p

I think that bars for "too many connections" should stay grey. they represent a temporary state, in a few seconds or at most a minute they're supposed to switch to another state, and the effect we see is "all bar is grey" -> "parts (or all) of the bar change color"

A4AF is a state that is not supposed to change soon so it deserves something different

i just compiled and restarted cvs-20050404 with this modification.
actually this is a visual worsening for me, as i use flat progress bars.

What's bad ist, that all bars are now framed with a black outline. this a nearly invisible change for those which prefer 3D bars, but a worsening for the flatties.

could it be handled that way, that only the A4AF (white) bars are outlined, while the others, which have a fill color different to white, are not?

additional suggestion, as i'm currently frequently stumbling over this:
is it possible to include the asked-for file in the message, like: A4AF: just_this_file.zip

and, just because i'm requesting improvements   could there be a context menu item added for A4AF sources to pull this source to this file? This would be great.

... m2kio !

and i herewith do another pledge to swap green and black in the peers' progress bars. black is what i have. green is 'available to transfer'. As in the overall file progress bar: black is what i have, bluish what is 'available to transfer'.

Maybe do it just for 3d-bar users?

That's already done, m2kio

You have the Swap Every A4AF to this file option.


BTW m2kio, did you take a look at your PM? Can you join IRC?

Yeah, that sounds like the best solution. I'll add it when I get home, since I also want to test a few other possible tweaks to the drawing.

I'm full of good ideas, huh?

Done:

EDIT: I slightly messed up here, the sources are not drawn flat (due to a false that should have been a true), but close enough anyway. *shrugs*

well, it's just personal taste but I'd remove the black lines from 3d bars too, except the white one where it divides white bar from white background... imho it doesn't match very well with light colors (green, light blue, red, yellow, light grey)

I've got another proposal: could the label "A4AF" appear only when percentages are enabled?

[GhePeU]

maybe my first idea was wrong. I was thinking about this, and the problem with full white bar is that it breaks UI consistency: a white bar doesn't distinguish itself from background, and, most important, while all bars are flat or 3D depending on user setting in preferences, a white bar is always flat. maybe the best solution is choose a new color for A4AF, possibly a light color (dark color is related to reliable and significant informations)

[m2kio]

i'm using flat bars and for this i feel it is good as it is now. maybe the border for A4AF is an odd man out, but A4AF is an odd man out anyway.
