Yaru: Colour selection for window snapping

[popey]

Expected Behavior

With the latest build of Yaru on 20.04 (built from source as per the excellent Contributing document), I noticed the window snapping guide is bright orange.

Given during the recent desktop yaru design sprint we committed to reducing the overall amount pf orange on the desktop. I wanted to start a discussion whether we think the orange snap is still appropriate, and if not, what would it look like when changed?

[clobrano]

I had a look at the code and, luckily, it's entirely in our power

[madsrh]

If we can change border and background independently, how about white solid border and background only 20-25% transparent white? I was thinking that this would be sort of related to the highlight on hover 🤷‍♂

[clobrano]

I still don't know how you can be so precise with a mock-up :D

This is on the real thing

[clobrano]

So, @popey, @madsrh, any preference? White is probably more neutral as orange alternative, but I don't have a strong opinion here

[madsrh]

I prefer the white one (if it fits with the theme). Can you make a test PR?

I tried to make a PR for this myself for testing, but I didn't succeed. So I'm keen to see how you did it 😃

I really like the white/porcelain, that's much better than 🍊 or 🍆.
How does it look with each of the three theme options?

[clobrano]

Being a gnome-shell thing, it's the same on all three options

I meant can you show a mockup of it in all three?

[clobrano]

Oh sorry, sure I can do that

Uhm, I am afraid this white is actually a problem with white backgrounds

[clobrano]

Over at the PR #1883 I am posting some mockups, let's discuss there

[madsrh]

I'll reopen this since this isn't in 20.04 after the shell refresh :/

[clobrano]

Let me check again

Expected Behavior

This definitely feels like the most natural color option, in my very subjective and totally biased opinion. :-)
