It is not a question of taste or fashion. There are some objective
ergonomic rules, when violated make most people consider the page odd.
Three examples from AdaIC. it has two bars one vertical, one horizontal
with overlapping between, where is what? The colors: never use more than
one pure color, even if you wanted a shrilling visual effect (which AdaIC
did not). Never mix pictogram and text labels.
