Currently, when a question is tagged with one of your favorite tags, it gets a background color to better get your attention:

background color highlighting

On some sites, this can be somewhat overwhelming. I'm proposing limiting this highlighting to tags only; for example, a border on the favorite tag:

tag border highlighting

Thoughts?

    I'm biased, but I like it a lot. Easier on the eyes too!

    I kinda like the way it does it now to be honest. It's far easier for me to see the questions I'm interested in at a glance (well, it is if you haven't got every tag under the sun favourited!) with the current highlighting.

    What about changing the background of the featured tag as well? A little darker or something?

  • @Haney That would be a happy medium I think, keeping the higher visibility. Perhaps change the hyperlink colour as well (or is that a little too much?)

    I don't like this because it takes your sight away from the question title and onto the tag(s) themself. I like it the way it is.

    Why not just make the color lighter so it's not so overwhelming?

  • @animuson yes, that's a possibility, too. I should most likely have asked this on meta.so (and I probably will do that later), as our homepage redesign puts a lot of highlighting on one's SO homepage.

  • @JarrodDixon I posted a similar question here, a bit different styling than yours, if you're interested, check it out: Favorite Tag Highlighting
