IMO decorating an active branch with "(Active)" is not enough. The branch doesn't stand out, which is particularly cumbersome if you have more then few branches. I would display it in bold.
I agree that there should be some distinction for the active branch. Susan, what would you suggest here?
I think bolding the branch name and perhaps decorating with an icon. I mention the icon because a short branch name (master) may still be hard to notice in bold, and I think bolding the descriptive text might be too much. I would then remove (Active)
Susan, do we have a good icon to use for .4? Is there still time to request one?
I've just requested one. If we don't get it in time, I think we could make one by capturing a "*" character in a gold-ish Orion color.
Created attachment 211065 [details] mockup what I sent the designer and what I am imagining (icon and then bold text)
Looks good. I will use it for now and replace when we have something from the designer.
Created attachment 211095 [details] Fix v1
Created attachment 211096 [details] Active branch icon Copy it to org.eclipse.orion.client.git/web/git/images
Nice, now you can't miss the active branch :)
I added the '*' icon and bold text. Waiting for stuff from the designer. http://git.eclipse.org/c/orion/org.eclipse.orion.client.git/commit/?id=a8df7003d1a408b08ab5548af46645d6e55e66c8

Red should be urgent/error conditions. Black bold and an icon is enough, I think... We have worked very hard to try to eliminate all "extra colors" except when really needed to convey something specific (like red and green for diffs, error/info/warning colors). Otherwise things are black, shades of gray, orion gold, or link color. (Post 0.4 I'd like to write up guidelines about all this)

I used the color from your mockup :) I thought you suggested red on purpose.

Sorry about that, black was the intended color.
Susan replaced the icon with the one from our designer. Marking the bug fixed.
