Changing the color attributes of icons to inform of the application status
Abstract
This study explores the relationships that exist between a change in the attributes of an icon's color and the implicit message behind such a change. In a user study, we employed five well-known App icons and manipulated the color attributes to result in 16 color variations for each of the App icons. As color alterations, the HSV color system was used, and the hue, lightness, saturation, and opacity were independently manipulated to result in 16 variations. We collected six typical messages related to App usage and asked the participants to select any of the 16 color variations that match the given message. There were three important results: first, when an App is broken, the icon would become dark; second, when an App is used less, the icon would become translucent; last, when an App is used often, the hue of the icon would be shifted toward red.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
