Profiler [1.2 070619]

GC tracking mark color is hard to see. The colors of GC and grid vertical lines are close so it could be a problem for
some users to distinguish them.

Josefe, could you please suggest a better color if you agree that current color is a problem?

There are some constraints for the color:

1/ It should be some variant of blue or red currently used in the graph, we don't want to introduce other colors in 
these charts

2/ The color should not be intensive because the information about GC activity is not as important as the other 
information displayed in the graph

3/ The color should be different enough from the light gray mesh used in the graph
Comment 2 Josef Pavlicek 2007-06-25 10:40:08 UTC
The GC  information is not necessary for the user in the charts preview. That's only informative view. The color of the
 vertical lines has to be tuned with the chart axis  colors and  should be approx. 50% transparent. I agree, it's hard
to read it in the preview but the preview is not designed for reading charts.  The user can get the information in the
chart detail view. In this place the user can the GC information easy recognize. We will  keep on mind  this issue for
the future releases.
Thanks

It seems that LATER or REMIND resolution is more appropriate for this particular situation.
