Ugly selection drawing...
« on: August 21, 2007, 07:47 PM »
Hi!

Am I the only one who thinks the way FARR draws the selection (the blue background behind the currently selected list item) in an extremely ugly way? It should be one rectangle instead of three different ones in different sizes for the number, the icon and the description.

Is it not possible to make this a bit more professional looking?

Thanks!

Thanks mouser!

Actually, this should be extremely easy: first draw the blue rectangle and then the three items (with transparent background).

This will make your product visually much more appealing and professional.

BTW: I really like it a lot - good work!

Thanks!
