Artifact Registry Closed Beta: UX/UI Improvement
Everyone can contribute. Help move this issue forward while earning points, leveling up and collecting rewards.
Purpose
This issue is a running log for any UX or UI improvement items spotted during AR MR reviews or AR demos ahead of beta. The goal is to capture improvement ideas in one place so they don't get lost, and to give engineering and design shared visibility into what's been flagged, even if some items might already exist in engineers' backlog.

Format icon size |
Create repo page > Format dropdown
|
Format icons were increased from 16px to 32px on the repository list (!248512 (merged)). Same treatment should be applied to the Format dropdown on the Create repo page for legibility and consistency. |

Border needed around format icon |
Repo detail page
|
The format icon on the repo detail page needs a border added for better visual definition.

Repo-list format filter should be multi-select |
Repository list > Format filter
