The pale blue and the pale green icons are too close for my eyes to easily see at a glance, the colors are too close because they are only an outline and not solid filled in. The small and only black and white items in the menu bar and also difficult to see at a quick glance.
If they were able to be moved to my preferred order like they were in GS 6 would be helpful as well. The “customize toolbar” is in the menu but I can’t access it.

just saying. since the most common color blindness problem is red-green… that actualy using a green & blue combination may be a problem for some users.
because of this it is almost standard around the world that “Green” Traffic lights are more Cyanish in color.
(have a family history of color blindness, that only slightly affects me in a very strange way.)

being a critic again…
I would have though that a going auctions “ebay” icon infront of the listing should be Green and a stopped/sold item Red (as in Traffic lights) as Blue (and especialy light blue) seem to be Neutral (as in Electrical Neutral wires, well here in Australia. what are they in other countries).
so realy wanting that chance to chang ethe Icons colors. regards, Sandy
I think this is a good compromise. I don’t have trouble with colors. Some have replied they don’t want the colors for a more clean look. Not sure anyone mentioned already, but I use to work with 3 people that were color-blind, so they would see the colors as shades. Not sure the colors would help them out. But offering an OPTION where you could have color if you wanted is an excellent offering.
Or maybe a toggle so that the user who wants it to stand out can, but those who think it’s too obtrusive can pass?
I also have sight problems and would probably toggle it on because of the ease of picking out auctions vs fixed price.
Would that require a lot of work on the coder’s side?
YES!!! Bolder colors please! It is far to difficult to see the small little icon.

I just switched over to GS7. Yes, please switch over to highlighted title as in GS6. It is very hard to read the small icon.

Just to clarify: The plan is to make the icon color editable, not to bring back the highlighted titles:
Different Color Icons were GREAT to easily and quickly visualize between Auction vs BuyItNow listings.
Color Highlighting of the Entire Title to denote “listing state” was much more easy to distinguish at a glance as many people have mentioned.

We already use colors to visualize the listing state and we don’t want to change this (again).

Thanks for the clarification. I look forward to that change. I still wish the title was colored as well. It could even be a transparent color highlighting the title, and would fit in with the GS7 interface. Color highlighting really helps usability, and work flow. It seems others share that view as well. Thanks!

I agree,
would love to be able to edit to my own colour scheme
, or bring back the old colour definitions. Not worried about ‘keeping it streamlined’ with other mac software, this is a database with a purpose, the purpose is to enable users to use their database quickly - it’s always worked how it should, colour options would make it easier for the user to see at a glance where they are in their listings, bright colours, a big thumbs up from an old school user!

I agree with others here who didn’t like some of the changes made in GS7. After upgrading from GS6 to GS7, it was disappointing to see the things I had lost as a result, like color in many aspects of the interface (menu icons, auction template states) and the ability to customize the toolbar.
I realize Apple has removed much of the color from macOS, but it would be great if GS7 gave us the option to have color back if we want it. I find it much easier to distinguish interface elements when they are a different color.

Looking at hundreds of “eBay” Icons is almost ridiculous, like brainwashing 
I agree >>> “Color Highlighting of the Entire Title to denote “listing state” was much more easy to distinguish at a glance as many people have mentioned.”
I spend twice as long trying to distinguish which is listed, sold, etc. I even go to eBay just to make sure…Not streamlined for me.
Also what happened to the little numbers next to the titles while Folders are closed, noting there is an auction running in it? Did I just dream that? I thought it use to show them.

We still have the numbers next to our folders, whether they are open or closed. One thought though: The parent folder’s count does not include the count of items listed within subfolders. Might want to change that if not too much trouble.
I would assume that they are expanding GS7 to handle listings to other auction or for sale sites, therefore I completely understand why each listing has the eBay icon. A bit of brain-washy now for certain, but for those who take advantage of the new feature whenever it is released, I have no doubt that it will be welcome.

Has the feature to customize the color of icons been added yet?
Sorry, no, it’s more a feature for a future version.
Regards, Kristian
And will the option to create ones own class be available as well?
E.g. a listing that I want to keep but one that has been sold outside of Ebay after contacting the purchaser directly. (Not that I would ever contemplate the idea - LOL).
I would also appreciate to have different, bolder colors for the icons to make them better recognizable. I would not need customizable ones, the option to choose three or four different versions of the existing sets would be enough for me.
