| Apr 3, 2018 at 14:18 | comment | added | TripeHound | @AndrewLeach OK. I'll accept always loading something (if just to show it's been loaded). | |
| Apr 3, 2018 at 14:11 | comment | added | Andrew Leach | @TripeH If you're loading something in order to change the background, then you're loading something and doing that is important. What you load may be an icon which hardly draws attention to itself, but (I still contend) it is necessary to show something. | |
| Apr 3, 2018 at 13:08 | comment | added | TripeHound | I would say it's not always important to show something, and sometimes will be better to not do so. If a lot of prices stay the same a lot of the time, then however clear your three markers are, only marking the risers and fallers will (I believe) draw attention them to more clearly if the unchanged entries are not marked. If "being out of date" or "not having data" is a common-enough event that you need to make people aware of it, then you could have a marker for that (e.g. "!"). "Not yet loaded" could perhaps be handled by a background colour that gets overwritten once the image has loaded | |

| Jul 4, 2012 at 13:28 | comment | added | Snorbuckle | I've not seen this standard before, and it would probably confuse me. To me, an arrow implies motion. I would be left thinking "So this value has moved... to the side? Or clicking it will move something somehow?". If you could provide an example where this is used I would like to see it. | |
