Yaru: Background in top of Templates folder

Created on 25 Feb 2020  路  19Comments  路  Source: ubuntu/yaru

I know that per app tweaks isn't ideal, but IMHO the label in the Templates folder lacks discoverability which is key for it's usefulness. Opposed to the Trash folder, the top banner here acts as information and would benefit from a background.

WDYT?

It totally makes sense. We went through a plethora of ideas :D
Right now, upstream does not make any difference, however yellow might suit better to a warning message, even more in dark variant, where the yellow should be darker.

What do you think of this?

Okay I was pretty alone on this one 馃檲

@madsrh I think it's a good idea :)

I tried this to do this with infobar.info but couldn't make it work. Is this even possible @Feichtmeier ?

It is

Yaru's yellow is too dark btw (#f99b11) and looks too much a warning color. Shall we go with your suggestion instead (#f3ef82)?

Ah, "unfortunately" also the Thrash folder has an infobar

Haha infobars again xD
I think that yellow looks like that 3M post-its so I think it looks good for a info :+1:
But what I don't like is that upstream just ignores the differences between the info bars: warning, info, error and so on

"unfortunately" also the Thrash folder has an infobar

Why is unfortunately inside a " " 馃槀

Shall we go with your suggestion instead (#f3ef82)?

Sure or even lighter perhaps?

upstream just ignores the differences between the info bars: warning, info, error and so on

So, you're both saying that it isn't possible?

No we had it once... back in time... I think... let me see...

That looks def. better for an information
I think upstream has the most lazy implementation here with inverting the selected_bg_color :man_facepalming:
If you change it would you change all three types like we had it once?

I'm just changing the infobar in nautilus right now, mostly because we already saw that those bars strongly depends on the context. In Nautilus this grey can be fine, while in another app might not

Just to be clear: are you saying that we can't safely style this only for Nautilus? If so, then let's not do this

No, the other way around :smiley:. I suggest doing it only for Nautilus and it is safe to do it

For the templates folder this (https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/1989#issuecomment-593409070) looks cool
For the trash I think it is a little bit more "dangerous" and the yellow fits, imo.

They are the same kind of infobar

I think the backdrop could need a little improvement in the dark theme @clobrano
Maybe just $backdrop_base_color like the rest of the window
