Created attachment 210573 [details] screenshot In JUnit view's icon the decorator is either a 'green tick' or a 'red x', but never a 'blue x'. If a Test suite has only 'failures' but no 'errors', the view's icon should use the 'blue x' as decorator, as the blue icon is used inside the view to indicate failures. See attached screenshot.
We use "red" since day one and also the progress bar in the view is red and not blue. Also, the dark-blue decorator would not be as visible as the red one.
sigh.. What if we use red icons for both error and failure? Error - a red '!' (same as the one we use for build path error) Failure - a red x Then maybe we can use the appropriate decorator in the view's icon. The progress bar can remain red for both error and failure.
Yes we "could" do that but then we'd also have to fix the icons in the view and the request a new toolbar icon from the designers for not much additional value. In that sense also the "Show Failures Only" isn't 100% correct but it does its job.
Note that JUnit 4 dropped the distinction between error and failures (also failed assertions are errors now), so this change would be hard to justify now.
