Ui: Greater Distinction Between Foreground And Background

[grahamperrin]

A very minor UI issue

 

There could be better distinction between the 'layers'. Blue on blue and the patterned blue areas create a slightly mushy effect.

 

In the example below the x at top right can, at a glance, be mistaken for the close box for Settings.

 

 

If this were a web app, I'd imagine the background being dimmed or greyed.

 

For a Windows app, I don't know what's best.

 

UI issues can take a back seat, IMO. (Features and bug fixes/workarounds take priority.)

PS I haven't followed any previous discussions on UI, sorry if this is covered elsewhere.

The interfaces can be modified from a chart and there are reasons why this is so. Anyway thanks for the idea.
