Bug Description
Ubuntu 13.10, x86_64, indicator-datetime 13.10.0+
indicator-datetime provides *no highlighting at all* for the current date. Worse, it provides faint highlighting for a different date (the date I logged in?). See attached screenshot.
This is related to to several other bugs (below), but the other issues are apx 2 years old and appear to be inactive.
Implications and related UI issues:
- It is too easy for a user to interpret the faint highlighting as today's date.
- If another day has previously been clicked (even days earlier), it remains highlighted. Users will likely expect that the highlighting corresponds to today's date, not that of a click days earlier.
- The lack of a "go to today" button makes it very difficult to focus the date for common use cases (What's today's date? What am I doing today? Tomorrow?)
