A side-tab accent border
- Forbidden
- A thick coloured stripe down one side of an ordinary card, list item or panel
- Instead
- No stripe. Where the stripe would mean something, a status, a warning, the current item, say it with a label or an icon and text, and keep the stripe only as a second signal.
What this rule looks like
Why this rule
A coloured edge on one side is the shape of an alert. Put on a card with nothing to announce, it makes the card look like a warning, and a page of them makes a real warning impossible to see.
