| Description |
|
The page editor uses gray plus three shades of green to visualize context and hierarchy of an element on a page as well as to indicate its selection. I've found a solution to simplify and clarify the currently implemented scheme, which I'd like to further evaluate and discuss. The slightly changed rules for applying color are:

This new scheme will also help significantly to recognize the extend of an area, since all bars inside an area will be green while those outside are gray. |
