Simple tab: STOP button's colour is misleading #73

Closed maltesk closed 2 years ago

Describe the bug While using SALSA, the STOP button in the Simple tab shows in red while the telescope is tracking or slewing. Expect, from the colour, that clicking the STOP button is a dangerous (or perhaps exciting) action. But instead clicking STOP stops the telescope tracking or slewing, neither of which are problematic.

To Reproduce Start SALSA slewing to a new position, so that the number in the "Distance to go" field is changing. The red STOP button is shown. OR Move SALSA to a new position so that TRACKING shows. The red STOP button is shown.

Expected behavior Expect any red UI elements to be warnings of some sort of risky outcome (ref: https://uxplanet.org/using-red-and-green-in-ui-design-66b39e13de91).

I think the red color was picked because you do NOT want to stop the tracking during a measurement. But I can see the problem. Better perhaps to not have a color for the STOP or Stop buttons.
