seems weirder to me that the foreground and background colour indicators are repeated on both the tool options bar and the status bar.
These are fill and stroke, not "foreground and background". More
I corrected myself later, but that slipped through
importantly, the indicator in the controls of some tools is NOT the same as the one in the statusbar. It does not display the style of the selected object, but shows the tool style - the style that the new objects created by this tool will have. That's a totally different thing. And that's why not all tools have it but only object-creating tools.
now I remember, there is a setting to make the tool colours independent of so those two would be different if I had it set that way.
If you don't entirely get rid of it wouldn't "None" be a clearer label than "N/A"?
No, because None is already used. None means no fill/stroke on selected object, N/A means no object selected.
You are missing the point that N/A is horribly unclear and unhelpfully pedantic, technically correctly but more an unnecessary distinction.
