Make the colored border around worlds in the Worlds tab brighter and more obvious

Open mxjessie opened this issue 1 month ago • 0 comments

Describe the Underlying Issue

While explaining to a new user how to use the Worlds tab to see what worlds they're currently in, I finally noticed that worlds you're in have a faint yellow border, active sessions have a pinkish border, and published but inactive worlds have a blue border.

They do get brighter on hover, but these aren't super obvious at a glance. I think it would help make the worlds tab a little less daunting to navigate if these were larger and brighter.

I don't remember, is the Worlds tab due for a rework? If it is, I understand not wanting to touch this; maybe this can be a design consideration for that.

To Reproduce

  • Be a new user
  • Go to the worlds tab
  • Click Everything
  • Look at all those worlds. Someone said you can be in multiple worlds, and you should leave your other ones? Which are you in? This is a lot to take in. Oh dear. Someone is yelling about a "backed up queue" now. Help

Expected Behavior

I think if it was a bit larger and brighter it would be a more obvious signal. I've been staring at this for two years and only just now noticed the distinction. In fact, I think I only noticed it because a bunch of my world previews aren't loading right now.

Consideration towards colorblindness feels important here as well; perhaps dashes, notches, or a shaped glow could work well here.

Documenting this in the Help tab seems prudent, too; the current text there for the Worlds tab is barebones. I could write up some copy for this if that would help.
