Shevek created NETBEANS-2608:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Graphics: Can't tell when a project has an error
                 Key: NETBEANS-2608
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2608
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 11.0
            Reporter: Shevek
         Attachments: nb-gradle-icons.png

I care about only one thing in the project summary: Does a project have an error.
Look at the attached image, and tell me at a glance which subprojects have errors?

I can't see because there's too much other noise in confusing colours.
Please can you remove all unnecessary noise from the project icon EXCEPT red for error, and something NOT-in-the-red-spectrum for OK.

The kind of dark orange coffee cup makes the icon totally useless.
Imagine 200 of these icons on a 4K screen.

I don't care if it's a gradle project or a maven project, whether anyone thinks it contains XML or EJBs, or is upside down or written in greek. I KNOW that stuff anyway, it's not a rapidly changing property of a project. What I want the IDE to tell me is "Does this contain an error". There's no other useful information there.



Please note, just for the record: None of these subprojects have errors, it's a NetBeans synchronization or source-rescanning bug that it thinks they do. When I ask it to compile, it's fine. But that's not what this ticket is about.
