[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-2608) Graphics: Can't tell when a project has an error

["Christian Lenz (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2608?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16849450#comment-16849450 ] 

Christian Lenz commented on NETBEANS-2608:
------------------------------------------

An other approach could be, that the project text color could be red, or has the text (has errors) or whatever.

> 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.
