[Calc] Feature request: New comment indicators
Hey!
Any chance we could add some more prominent comment indicators? I was
thinking perhaps triangles:

Thank you!

Agreed, a semantic colour review could include accessibility
considerations.

I agree that the triangle is more prominent. Red is a strong color, but... having worked for many years with people with vision problems, Red is the first color lost in most people with degenerative retinal conditions. It might be better to allow a default color to be set by the user.

Tony,
Good observation. I agree the square indicators could be more predominant.
Furthermore, the current square indicators could be easily confused with
cell selection feedback.
The triangle shape is more predominant, visually distinct and consistent
with spreadsheet comment indicators in other offerings.
Go for it.
Moving forward, we might want to also look at the comment indicators in all
applications a develop a consistent colour palette. Red is a strong colour
in western UIs. We may want to review the colour semantics for all of our
indicators.
Regards,
Kevin
