[ubuntu-art] The Unlock icon is very subdued

[Dylan McCall]

Hi everybody!

Quick issue I have noticed: Many people (including myself) are being
confused by dialogs using PolicyKit, not quite understanding that they
must click the Unlock button. The issue here is that the button is hard
to find at first glance, and usually not placed in a prominent manner.
Personally, I think it could do with being a different widget entirely
(maybe one that really looks and feels like a lock or an important
switch).

Placement of the button, of course, is not what the art team deals with
directly... However, one place we could influence this to greatly
improve discoverability is the stock icon for the Unlock button! Right
now, as some have stated, it looks "greyed out". Definitely no argument
here. I think grey icons are a bad idea and should really be avoided,
since disabled widgets have the same style.
May be fixable by simply giving the keys in that icon a shiny gold
colour, or perhaps different colours for the two keys to grab a bit of
extra attention.

Bye,
-Dylan
