Design & Discussion

• From “Blender Today”. Do we want a color specifically for “Not Found”, i.e. Pink?

Icons color theme customization should be separate between the Outliner and Properties Tabs. Some may what the color in the outliner but want black and white on the Properties tab like the initial Blender 3.0 UI was.

Also, the gizmo visibility in the viewport should be separated from the navigation controls buttons under it. One might only want the gizmo visible and the navigation controls disabled.
