unsaved changes indicator

Which update introduced the orange triangle in the window corner instead
of the red outline? It doesn't really work for me 'cause that one corner
might be covered by other windows and the visual clue is lost. What was
wrong with the red outline anyway?

IMO, best would be to use a popup accept/cancel buttons , as in
NewSpeak browser.

It is theme dependent... that was the choice I made for "Watery"
themes... If there is sufficient interest in this then it could be made
to be an orthoganal setting/preference...

I would find pop-up buttons too intrusive. I prefer the simple old
red outline for exactly the same reason that rado said; I can more
easily see dirty windows on the desktop.

May we set this back to the default and those who prefer the corner
can set their own theme..?

Its maybe intrusive, but for a newcomer its much better and obvious.

Oops, apologies for the wrong attributation then. I thought this was
just a variant from the indicator in Newspeak (which looks extremely
similar). Yours was great because it's been dynamically created in
various colors.

Cheers,

I like the way it worked through 3.10. A dirty window gets a red border,
and a close without saving raises a confirmation dialog. Current
practice is to offer three choices, save, no save, or cancel (see gedit,
which BTW uses a triangle in the dialog, better than an "i"). My 3.11
alpha image does the red border thing, but a dirty workspace will close
without objecting. No dialog. Not good.

As I said earlier, I think this change is a step back, so I'm showing
interest in having this reverted or made into a preference

It's already done, look for Simple Frame Adornments in the preferences.
