Make the nice new dirty indicator bullet/circle less bold #3520
the circle is a bit visually heavy. What could help is to make it a bit greyer in light and dark mode.
it's such a large blob of the same color that it just looks bolder than the text of identical color.
So ideally it would blend in some factor of the background color. I don't know the implementation details; maybe it could use some relatively high alpha value to blend into the background without needing a computation.
FYI: PR validation in PDE is currently failing on baseline comparison, see [link to failing run].. I don't have time to dig into it right now, and I haven't checked whether other components are affected. Flagging it so it's on someone's radar. I'll pick my Eclipse work back up once validation is green again in PDE.

Is this comment about PDE really intended for this SWT issue? Would a PDE issue really affect an SWT PR?

can you copy the requirement into the this issue?

Moved to SWT, as the color is defined in SWT.

In addition to alpha or a dedicated color a slightly smaller circle could also be the option. I could do some mock-ups later this week if required.

I don't know and don't have time to dig into it. Sorry, but time today is very tight.
Use alpha for less bold bullet in CTabFolderRenderer.drawDirtyIndicator
