PR# 10883 Icon for expanded frozen class should be colored frozen

Problem Report Summary
Submitter: prestoat2000

Class: Bug
Severity: Non-critical
Number: 10883
Release: 5.7.62110
Confidential: No

Synopsis: Icon for expanded frozen class should be colored frozen

Description
The icon for an expanded class that is also frozen should be
the same color as a frozen class (such as SPECIAL).  The
shape already tells me it is expanded.

Also, I noticed that the color of the icon for a non-frozen
expanded class is different than the color for a non-frozen
reference class in my cluster but not in a library or
precompile.  My expanded class icon is colored a brighter
blue than icons for my reference classes.  In a library,
both expanded and reference class icons appear to have the
same color of blue.  The difference in color in my cluster
is fairly obvious between expanded and reference classes.

Is this intentional?

Also, the color of a precompiled class icon used to be
different (either darker or lighter blue than for a
non-precompiled class) but I can't tell any difference
since 5.6.  I'm using Java Desktop System with 24-bit
color.

This part is not fixed in 6.4.79451.  A frozen reference class icon has
a different color than a frozen expanded class icon.  Reopening report.  
You can close it if this is intentional, but it seems like a (minor) bug to me.

Closed, since Patrick has explained the strategy.

This has been fixed for the next release.

We differentiate between read only and non read only classes. Normally all libraries and precompiles are read only and classes in there should have a lighter color than in normal clusters.
