Layer Lock Icon in Colour

[Igull]

Is it possible to have the lock icon fill turn (say) red when locked ?
I find it difficult to find the locked item (s) when scrolling down a large list.
The plain grey when unlocked is fine.

I expect that someone will tell me that I can already do that in prefs LOL

TIA

@Igull Not possible at this time, AFAIK.

Btw, you have 'Select All Locked' in the Select menu — maybe it helps?

@Igull I'm trying to avoid using color in the UI elements as much as possible. I will think of a solution for this one (maybe more contrast for the locked icons?)

A darker circle under the closed padlock icon would help, IMO.

How about to make the Unlocked hollow ?

That could solve the issue.

I like the outline for the unlock symbol. Maybe just have the lock hinge not swing outward but show a gap that it’s not closed. That plus the outline mode would work

When scrolling the list, small details are difficult to pick up. Since @Subpath's suggestion appealed to us, how about doing an inversion of the eye icon, or strong gray out when is inactive?

@encart

played i bit with your idea
and came up with this variants

Both stand for the closed/hidden Version

Yes, I can do that, but I want to just pick individual locked layers.

Yes, that seems a sensible suggestion if colour isn't an option - I'm assuming the colour thing is purely an aesthetic and nothing to do with the ergonomics

I think it is kind of both. It is of course aesthetic, I think that having a grey tone UI theme is better.
For the ergonomics aspect (if it belongs here): I think that having (too much) color in the UI might distract from and influence how the colors of the design are perceived, and it is more efficient to avoid colors.

Yes, no problem with that, I bow to your OCD
