If controls show different type of information, how much can they resemble each other?
I'm developing a UWP app to remotely access linux machines, and it includes a remote file explorer, and a simple editor. On both of those windows, I've got a status bar at the bottom, but they don't at all display the same type of info:
File explorer: (pressing on "0 Items selected" opens a flyout with actions such as Select all, Invert Selection, etc...)
File editor: (pressing on "C#" opens a flyout that allows the user to choose syntax highlighting for various programming languages)
These look very similar, but don't display the same type of info. Is it an issue? And if so, can I fix it? I thought about changing the color, but it's set by the user (The Windows 10 theme accent brush).
