I know that sidebars change colors and such - that certainly is another great visual indicator. But I just find the removal of the active states puzzling. Is this something we can anticipate in a future release (perhaps 1.5final)?
I'm not sure if I know what you mean.

One thing that took me a while to figure out is that there have always been the two 'buttons' (probably not the proper term) for Planning and Context Modes that say 'Mode' under them and the background of the mode selected is 'highlighted'. That made me think that maybe this is what you're talking about. Then, with the recent inclusion of the new, built in Projects and Contexts perspectives...something changed on the default toolbar. I believe that the 'mode selector' buttons used to be on the default but now are optional. I didn't realize (probably didn't read the release notes well) that they were new perspectives, not just a 'change' in the mode buttons. I like having the mode buttons there, so I added them back.

Don't know if this has anything to do with what you were asking. But it seemed related enough to mention.
