Created attachment 136893 [details] Desaturated When you have a lot of applications that are listed in the widget, you can't tell which is the active stream. Would an option to desaturate the icons for streams that aren't actively playing?

Maybe it would make sense to add an icon overlay to the active ones instead?

WOW that is a lot of streams! Not a bad idea--either what you suggest, or Nicolas's idea (which is that we would badge streams that are currently playing with a little icon in the corner). I don't see an appropriate emblem icon though. We have emblem-pause but no emblem-play, oddly. So we would probably want to add that first.

I think that is a good idea, but what if you have multiple streams running? You're editing a video and listening to a song in separate applications. Also, where are the icons stored and are design requirements. I wouldn't mind taking a look and seeing if it is something I could contribute.
I think Nicolas's idea is an alternative to yours. You proposed de-saturating the icons of non-playing streams in the popup; he proposed badging those very same icons with a little badge if they *are* playing anything.

Got it! Makes perfect sense. That's a very good alternative.
