Did you consider STYLE_ENABLED? I like that better as 'primary' implies there is
a secondary. 'enabled' also better aligns with 'disabled'.

There is a "secondary"; it's over on the Chrome side.

[tapted, 2017/03/20 22:31:42]

There is that :). I also think ENABLED is too specific here -- DISABLED only
applies to text contexts where it makes sense for it to have a disabled state.
But PRIMARY applies to any text context -- it's not necessarily the inverse of
DISABLED.

E.g., in theory, a UI might toggle between PRIMARY/DISABLED or
SECONDARY/DISABLED or HINT/DISABLED -- and we can get rid of lot of Label:: data
members for "disabled" colors this way since the "disabled" state is orthogonal
to the "style". That is, calling View::SetEnabled(false) on a Label doesn't need
to change its *style* - we just override its current style with DISABLED until
something does SetEnabled(true).
