Jul 23 03:43:06 <DougReeder> Poll: On a Popup, do you set scrim: true? Why or why not?
Jul 23 04:35:42 <GodGinrai> DougReeder: the scrim is for dimming the background so that people pay attention to the popup.
Jul 23 04:36:06 <DougReeder> Right.
Jul 23 04:36:07 <GodGinrai> DougReeder: oh, you started that out w/ "Poll"
Jul 23 04:36:15 <GodGinrai> I often do
Jul 23 04:36:25 <GodGinrai> for the reason above
Jul 23 04:36:32 <DougReeder> I’m dithering whether it’s good UI to use a scrim
Jul 23 04:37:02 <GodGinrai> a scrim is normally good UX, as long as it works correctly
Jul 23 04:37:23 <DougReeder> Popups with the default color & translucency don’t look great against a scrim.
Jul 23 04:38:16 <GodGinrai> most of the "defaults" in onyx don't really look that good, imho
Jul 23 04:39:45 <DougReeder> I get the impression onyx is meant to be spruced up with colored hilights, but is mostly gray so you can put hilights where you lie.
Jul 23 04:39:56 <DougReeder> s/lie/like/
Jul 23 04:40:10 <GodGinrai> could be
Jul 23 04:40:39 <GodGinrai> I tend to stick to enyo core for as much as possible, and only use onyx for complex things
Jul 23 04:41:31 <GodGinrai> but the one thing I needed onyx for the most was moved to core (Drawer) :P
Jul 23 04:42:54 <DougReeder> I’m thinking something could be done to make Popups look good against a scrim, but I’m not sure what.
Jul 23 04:43:02 <GodGinrai> I do like the input decorators from onyx, but that's really it
Jul 23 04:43:43 <GodGinrai> Simple, change the color of either the scrim or the popup
Jul 23 04:44:24 <GodGinrai> the contrast will not only draw attention to the popup, but will make it not seem like black on black
Jul 23 04:49:08 <DougReeder> Hmm, but what colors? If I change the Popup background, gotta change the style of everything in a Popup.
Jul 23 04:54:23 <GodGinrai> depends what colors you want
Jul 23 04:55:03 <GodGinrai> you could go for a white scrim to attract attention to the one dark portion of the screen
Jul 23 04:57:16 * DougReeder nods “Couldn’t find a set of colors that looked good that way”
Jul 23 05:02:03 <GodGinrai> anyways, I'm gonna head to sleep
Jul 23 05:02:07 <GodGinrai> cya
