Comment (by -Meanwhile-):
I think there's no need to regulate when a developer should and should not
use a fill color on a slider in their app, and in my round of QA I'm
limiting myself to Haiku's base system and all that's included in it,
because that's the starting point for each user and also the thing we can
control. \\
The user will understand the difference between the OS and how it presents
itself and the (possibly negative) effects 3rd party applications may have
on it after installation.
This also means we can control the impression that DataTranslations makes
on the user, as it's part of the base system.
You can adapt those jpeg sliders and the virtual memory one to the same
blue, which is a step forward but you're then still left with a
DataTranslations app that shows some sliders with color, and some without
color. So that's then the remaining inconsistency.
That's why I suggested to get rid of that inconsistency by using no colors
for sliders in the base system unless they are audio volume sliders. So
you get a nice clean and consistent situation.
