#FF00AA


31 dec. 2008

Goddamnit, there aren’t two icons with the exact same shade of gray. How hard is it to sample a screenshot with the eyedropper? Do all developers really have to use crappy, uncalibrated no-brand monitors?

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.

So good to see I'm not the only one to have this kind of concerns! :-)

I don't recognize all of them. What's the first one? And third? And seventh? Also, I can't remember the name of the eighth :)

As per your initial concern, even Apple owns are not so color-alike, so why would any other developer bother getting it right when Apple doesn't?

Dropbox, Adium, Proxi, Twitterific, Gmail Notifier, Evernote, TextExpander, iCalViewer, Quicksilver.

Well, there's less difference between Apple's icons than the others.
