Project Focus in Project Manager

PostFri Jul 09, 2021 3:16 pm

Unless I'm not aware of a setting that gives the option to change this, I am posting this observation (suggestion) for change.

In Project Manager, it comes up with "Untitled Project" with a bold orange border. Clearly, it is the default selection.

However, when you click on an existing project, while that existing project now gets the FOCUS which is indicated by the bold orange border, "Untitled Project" still has this border as well.

As a programmer, when you give FOCUS to something it is strongly indicated such as with a bold border. Yet, those projects (including the default "Untitled Project") should then LOSE focus and no longer have this bold orange border. This would make it easy to see right away what you are going to load when clicking OPEN.

Here is a link to a video I did showing what I'm talking about.

The red check in the upper left indicates that project is currently opened. That's why it retains the border.

Being 'Untitled' isn't relevant to this behavior.
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
