Cms: UX: Improve matrix field bar visibility issues introduced in 3.4 theme updates

[jsunsawyer]

With Craft 3.4, matrix field "settings" dropdowns and "move" icons are only visible on hover. Also, the color fades into the field, so the bar that you can double click to collapse a block isn't clearly defined.

Craft 3.4 (hovered)

I feel like this is a downgrade in usability and the icons should always be visible, and that the bar should stand out against the rest of the field.

This should also affect the "status" icon when a block is disabled.

Felt relevant to post this here.

Would you consider adjusting the bottom spacing when a block is collapsed so it appears to be vertically aligned? At the moment it looks top aligned.

Just improved the look of Matrix fields for the next 3.4 release (probably dropping later today).

@jonleverrier Thanks for pointing that out – fixed that extra padding as well.

3.4.7 is out now with that change.
