Description: In new version of LibreOffice (6.1) little star (?) used as addition to Save button to indicate unsaved changes to the document being edited is too small and almost invisible when displayed on high resolution monitor. Also its color is close to default background. It is common for all programs. I use Windows 7, 64-bit 4k display. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a document 2. modify any element Actual Results: Save button changes: on lower right corner of it small yellow shape with border in background color is displayed, partially covering the button corner. Expected Results: Similar effect, but with clearly visible difference like it was in the previous version, or (better) with additional text indicator somewhere, like in MS product. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-US Module: SpreadsheetDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Windows (All) OS is 64bit: yes
confirming, i think the new behaviour (change icon after saveing instead of disable icon) started with Version: 5.4.7.2 Build-ID: c838ef25c16710f8838b1faec480ebba495259d0 CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 6.2; UI-Render: Standard; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: single
We intentionally changed this (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Meetings/2015-12-11) as the modification status is also shown at the status and the title bar. So => WFM. Nevertheless, we should consider an improvement to the icons. I will forward this to the designers.
I will enlarge the circle

In my opinion still the marker is not big enough. Perhaps the problem is related only to 4k monitors, but since there's no way to modify size of interface elements globally, the marker in question should be very well visible - it should be eye-catching. Currently it is visible, but needs some user's effort to recognize its presence.
