See screenshot. With holo/material design in mind there should be some consistency here.

Hey Aaron, Great catch :) I've got a color swatch library that I've been using myself to keep things visually consistent and I'm trying to establish it into a more concise guide. So, it just hasn't made it to these other pages yet. This is also a part of Project Chameleon to unify these visuals with folks from Desktop, and OS. That being said, feel free to file these bugs as a part of the meta bug we're using to track these visual/interactive changes - bug 1052004 :)

As a general note, the #CED7DE in the toolbar was changed to #EBEBF0 so that might be a good starting point if we can try that out. :)
I think we should aim to address this as part of the toolbar changes.

antlam, we need a new version of these images with the new shade of grey: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1187037/menu-popup-bg.zip

Here's a preview of the new 9 patches for this. I've also brought in the shadows a bit so the light sources doesn't feel so close to the menu. I feel like this matches up with the new toolbar a bit more and feels less fuzzy/ cramped. :) 9 patch files coming!

Here you go! through in XXHDPI just in case / for the future :)

I'd liked the more pronounced shadow we had. This looks fine too. Up to you.

We need to tweak the menu header (the one with the back/forward/refresh buttons) color too I think.

Comment on attachment 8476628 [details] Screenshot (tablets) Yeah , this doesn't come up as well when the menu is larger. Let me kick it up a bit and re-attach :)

Comment on attachment 8476631 [details] Screenshot (phones) Yeah that looks weird cause it's still blue-ish. Also, whats with the clipping happening on the right hand side?

Hey Anthony, I noticed that the shadows in the images you sent are quite different for each density. Is that intended? More especifically, mdpi and hdpi have a much more pronounced shadow than xhdpi and xxhdpi.
Flags: needinfo?(alam)
Also, the assets you sent are not valid 9-patch images. Make sure the shadow pixels don't bleed into the outer frame where you draw the control pixels.
Attached file menu-popup-bg-new3.zip (obsolete) (deleted) —
I figured out the sizing difference issue but because the shadow is so faint, I can't tell 100% if it's within the black "control pixels" but this should be good. Give these a try! :)

Try this for the different grey? (#E1E1E6) I tried to find a color that both worked well with the current icon colors and was a derivative of the new toolbar grey. It might not be obvious enough but I also have another darker one in the palette we could use if that's the case (that doesn't match things like the current button dividers as much) (attaching quick mockup I used to compare the colors)

Attached file menu-popup-bg-new4.zip (deleted) —
I'd agree :) it's hard to see the full effects from my mocks unfortunately. So we might have to try this a couple more times. I've made these more prominent, let me know what you think! Could I get a build to check these out too?

This looks great. I noticed the dividers are still a bit blue, how easy is it to change them to #D7D9DB ?

Comment on attachment 8480473 [details] [diff] [review] Use consistent grey tone in overflow menu (r=margaret) Review of attachment 8480473 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- This change looks fine, but I think we can make this better by factoring out these shared color values. ::: mobile/android/base/resources/drawable/divider_horizontal.xml @@ +5,5 @@ > > <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > android:shape="rectangle"> > > + <solid android:color="#D7D9DB"/> I think we should pull this value into a generic color resource, maybe something like @color/divider_grey. That way it's obvious that we're using a single color consistently, and we can easily use it in any new views we add.

Anthony, it seems Lucas checked on the dividers in comment 23 - does something still appear off?
Flags: needinfo?(alam)
Maybe it's just these old eyes... I also just checked the dividers in our about: pages and it looks like they're #D7D9DB and I assume they're the same everywhere so it's all good :)
