Status and runtime chips are soft tints with one pixel

Status chips and runtime chips are soft tints with one pixel or icon, instead of saturated fills with an ink border.

Context

The product code draws status chips and runtime chips as saturated fills with an ink border. A screen can hold a dozen of them.

Decision

Status and runtime chips sit on a soft tint, with a square pixel or an icon carrying the saturated color.

Consequences

The saturated color is only one pixel large, so a screen full of chips stays quiet.
