Hi,

when typing an address in the location entry, it would be nice if bookmarks were a bit more discoverable in the drop-down list. right now they appear the same as other entries, except for a tiny bookmark icon on the right side of their entry. this is not enough, especially for very wide monitor resolutions (think of 1920x1050) with a very large location entry in the toolbar.

[I am using such a configuration right now: 1920 pixels width, with just back|forward|stop|location-entry|reload in the toolbar.]

two possible solutions are:

 - move the bookmark icon on the left, like Yelp (see the screenshot [1]). moving the bookmark icon to the left will align it to the rest of the favicons in the drop-down list, hopefully making them easier to spot. the downside is the obvious conflict between the favicon and the bookmark icon (i.e., do you show the favicon or the bookmark icon for bookmarks?)

 - use a different background color for bookmark entries. this already works for "active" bookmarks (i.e. those bookmarks that include %s in their URL and allow for searching -- how do you call them?), which have a dark colored background. it would be neat if normal bookmarks were handled similarly (possibly some other color taken from the GTK theme?)

[Thinking of it, it would be great if "active" bookmarks had a different icon as well. Maybe not worth a bug report though.]

Thanks,

----
Stefano
