Differentiate Process and Object Studio with colors

[IshanMahajan]

I understand that the process and object studio have numerous things to differentiate but what would be more usable is to have some different colors applied to Process and Object studio so anyone can understand in a glimpse that it is process studio and that was Object studio.

I understand that most of the time it would be developers who would go to the studio to work on the code but many times we need to show the code to management/Non - technical folks it would be very nice to have there.

​Hi, I would also add some kind of differentiation in the Windows Taskbar on which BP environment/process/object we are currently working... Right now if I work simultaneously on something in Prod and Dev, there is no way I can know which window belongs to which... Or if am comparing few different processes or objects it is the same.

Hi Ishan,

The internal review team has discussed your idea, and we have determined we Need More Info in order to appropriately route your idea along the lifecycle.

Can you please provide your use case for this? if you're flicking through your different windows usting alt+tab, you can see whether it's process studio or object studio by looking at the text - are you looking for a different functionality with this request?

Thanks,
Melanie

Hi Ishan,
The internal review team has discussed your idea again and we are moving it into the Under Consideration status while we route the idea through our internal review process. 

We will update you as your idea moves along the lifecycle.

Thank you!

Hello @IshanMahajan,

Thanks for taking the time to raise an idea.

Whilst I agree that some sort of visual aid to distinguish between process and object studio may be useful, we're trying to steer away from using color as the way we convey meaning as this can cause problems with accessibility standards. We recently played around with the idea of using something other than gridlines (i.e. dots in the background rather than gridlines), so this may be an alternate approach to meet this same goal.

I'll add the underlying request for this idea (i.e. a way to quickly and easily distinguish between Process and Object studio) to our current design thinking for "the future" of the RPA Design Studio, but as we'll steer away from using color as your idea describes I think I'm going to mark this idea as Not Planned for now.

Regards,

Rob
