Description Allan Day 2017-05-09 09:14:50 UTC 
Right now it's not 100% which page is selected. This has some unfortunate consequences - it means that there isn't a strong hierarchy to the UI, which in turn means that it's hard to situate document-level versus page-level actions. In some cases, it isn't clear which page the rotate and crop actions will act on.

One way to resolve this would be to use a sidebar for switching between pages:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/document-scanner/document-scanner.png

This creates opportunities for other UI improvements further down the line:

 * Page-level editing actions, using an action bar
 * Page numbering
 * A document-level "Start Again..." button, to replace the current new document button

Can you make a icon/svg of the background image and attach it here?

The icon that's above "ready to scan" is just scanner-symbolic from adwaita-icon-theme.
