- [Sohail Mirza] This is a fantastic mockup, but I have two suggestions:
- I find the red cancel icon to be somewhat distracting. It stands out too much. How about leaving it monochrome?
- The throbber image would be appropriate, but I like the gear icon better. What if we retained the gear icon, but it throbbed with a subtle glow instead? Then upon completion, it could turn green. Green + throbbing glow would mean there are both completed as well as in-progress activities.
- [Sergey Davidoff] This is what I'm longing for a long time. It was suggested in the original ToPaZ brainstorm, but wasn't implemented anywhere. I'm really looking forward to the implementation!
