Thread:Talk:MoodBar/Design/Emoticon states/reply

The user can, indeed, change their mind.

I'm not so concerned about this, to be honest. Of course, when playing with the tool, it all seems obvious to me but then I designed the thing.

Size changing is an interesting idea, though. I had explored using shapes to indicate selection but it ran into the "White Smiley on a Dark Background" problem so aborted exploration into that area.

Moodbar is still def. a work in progress. If we ever get resources devoted to it again, this might be something to play with.

Though, if we revisit anything, I'd prefer to come up with a simple icon that can be resized to 16x16, monochrome, that we can use to indicate a "Moodbar active" element. This falls into a plan to attach "mood" to specific items (like warning templates, or tools, or whatever) so we can track attitude towards unique targets rather than "overall impressions."
