Bug Description
Reported by Brynn:
The only thing I see that possibly could be improved (very minor) is the background color block for each section. I like that very much! But the colors somehow need to be....sort of "equalized"....well I can't think of the right words.
It looks like you tried very hard not to use the same color twice. But I think it might help the general appearance if you had a set of maybe 5 or 6 colors, and just use them in the same order, repeating, top to bottom (e.g. - red, green, blue, yellow, purple, red, green, blue, yellow, purple, etc.).
But the main thing is they need to have the same or at least similar transparency or lightness, no matter if the colors repeat or not. For a quick fix, it's the Canvas and Palette sections that seem out of place. Also Pencil, and possibly Star and Spiral, maybe Zoom . Some of the colors are so light I can barely notice them, but then some don't seem to be transparent at all. I know they probably aren't really transparent, but the lightness needs to be in the same range as all the other blocks.
Maybe better to rotate through the same 3 colors, or even just alternate 2 colors.
@brynn: Would you like to suggest a list of colors and sections?
