Subtle changes, bugs and feedback

Think the read\unread distinction is now quite hard to distinguish...

Really? I'd read the stickies and I bin scobled, the other items are unread.

Exactly as per Gmail... white background rows are unread, light grey rows are read.

The only thing i would say is that some people may be working on monitors with shitty contrast ratios... if this is the case, it might be hard to distinguish between the white and the light grey.

Yeah, you've got to make allowances for weird monitors.

Edit: I think someone else possibly mentioned this slightly prior to my post.

Gmail bolds unread items though

2) Introduced white background for unread rows
3) Introduced light gray background for read rows

I find this confusing. To me, it would be more intuitive to "highlight" the unread threads in grey and then turn them to the white "background" colour when read.

I also think I prefer the bolding but that is marginal and I'm sure I'll get used to non-bolded.

OK, what about this one.

version 2

Very close to the new one, but still with bolded unread items.

Getting rid of the underlining would clean up the presentation greatly.

Think this is what is happening with mine...

So it's good for monitors with poor contrast, but easy to scan with the eyes because the underlines would be gone.

The eye could follow the horizontal easier as it would be less interrupted by vertical bands, and I have still got small numbers on the end because why the hell are they so large anyway.

Works for me now!

So... version 2 is much nicer than what we have today?

In my opinion - Yes

Hard to say without a live example but it looks okay to me...

and me. Much cleaner with-out the underlines

Well, if it works for user #3 then cool... I'll do it.

As long as hippy's not happy, we're good.

He's a hippy, he's always happy. He's just grumblin' because the age of free love passed him by.

OK, what about this one.

version 2 is good.

+1 this

That's the opposite of what the vast majority of major sites do though... they degrade (age, old, read) to grey.

BTW, force refreshing your browser will have just nuked most underlines.

Strangely, there's still a few lingering. But I'll come to those later.

Without underlines, it feels like you just took my eyes underwear off

edit: reading back, that sounds weird. I actually like the underlines, but then as with everything im sure I'll get used to it.
