What does the colors mean in the tool window? #372

I know red means missing a translation. But what does orange/yellow and white mean?

dmgsoftware commented 8 months ago

I was wondering about this as well, so I went looking through the code and found:

if(missesValues(row, table)) {
    component.setForeground(JBColor.RED);
} else if(hasDuplicates(row, table)) {
    component.setForeground(JBColor.ORANGE);
}

So, orange means that the value is duplicated and white is just the standard, no problem color.

Possibly add configuration options to adjust the colour palette

cptnricard commented 4 months ago

I think there are two issues here.

Yellow is not ideal if you use the Light theme. Having a way to configure the palette is one way to address this, adjusting the colors based on the theme might be easier to implement.
I believe the most important issue is discoverability, and that might be an easy fix(es)
- Add a tooltip on yellow and red keys.
- There is a message appended to the key but only in the Tree View. Having a message for all issues in both views would be nice.
