Distinguish between colored card and selected card

One of these is a colored card, and the other is a selected card. Prior to colored cards, it was obvious when I (or another collaborator) had selected cards. Now it is really hard to tell (they are visually the same).

Selected could maybe have a little glow around the card, like the animation you get when first selecting something.

Exactly :). Like shadow or outline in CSS.

Looks nice! How does it coexist with the “stack indicator”? (I mean little black boxes with white numbers).

worst case scenario it overlaps like this, but i think irl seeing at least one indicator is enough to indicate that the cards are selectedScreen Shot 2022-01-19 at 9.45.48 AM

Sure.
Brainstorming:

  • What about to replace the stack “2” indicator by " :slight_smile: " when selected.
  • Or to put the smiley under the number (maybe even better)?
  • Or change the color of “2” when stack selected? (Not sure whether the smiley should signify something else than selection)

huh it’s the same face pic, it’s a smile :), but maybe at too small size it looks like a neutral :expressionless:

But it is no big issue. Maybe the cards don’t want to be selected ;).
