The default color scheme and icons used in the system settings sometimes results makes search results hard to spot. For example, I searched for 'focus' to set my window focus policy. The search correctly identified 'Window Behavior' as the correct option group in which to find what I wanted, but I almost missed this due to lack of contrast between the icon in the search result and the ghosted icons eliminated from the search

My suggestion would be to not only ghost the eliminated search candidates but to also actively highlight the hits; perhaps with the default window shadow color for example.



edit: added image, removed question about how to add images

You can't upload images, you need to use a third-party image hosting service like imageshack or photobucket.

Yes, the highlighting would be nice as well but I think there is somekind problem to get it highlighting correctly depending different icon shapes.



I had same problem to get good thumbnails until site administrators answered my question by adding a new HTML code to get the thumbnails fine.

All what you need now to do is to upload your image to somewhere image hosting or to your own FTP/HTTP server.

Then get the direct link to the image (so what you click so you can see the full size image).

Then type (thumb=width)http_address.com(/thumb) (replace ( as [)

@Fri13 @TheBlackCat thanks for the info on the image linking, will look at getting it hosted somewhere.

@Fri13 hmm, if shadows around icon shapes is not technically workable then I wonder if something like a blending a bright color over the icon to highlight it would work? Sort of a reverse ghosting...

Please, place there a [ thumb=450 ] code so you get a thumbnail with 450px wide...

This is weird... when I use BBCode nothing shows up except the literal text, only actual &tl; img > tags seem to work for me

Seems to work fine for me. I updated it to a 400px thumbnail.

Appreciate the update, looks much better. Not sure why I couldnt get it done myself
