Description Tommi Komulainen 2005-09-18 12:18:08 UTC 
The difference between online and offline account icons is way too subtle to be
noticeable. At least on my laptop screen one needs xmag to figure out there
actually is a difference.

It would be best to have different shape, or little emblem, for the other icon,
but even with colors/contrast one can already make a big difference.

'current' is as gossip currently shows the icons, i.e.
  gdk_pixbuf_saturate_and_pixelate (pixbuf, pixbuf, online ? 1.5 : 0, FALSE);

'pixelate' is implemented as:
  gdk_pixbuf_saturate_and_pixelate (pixbuf, pixbuf, 1.0, !online);

'insensitive' is implemented as:
  gtk_widget_set_sensitive (GTK_WIDGET (image), online);


For me either one of the alternatives provides much more clear distinction, but
I think I prefer the pixelated one.

Superb, thanks Tommi, I love the pixelate option, and have applied this!
