PLEASE REMOVE THE RED FROM THE BIG RED POST MESSAGE BUTTON!!

Red is also the colour associated with "stop", as in "stop and look before you proceed". Sometimes people need to do that more often.

Red is also a rather nasty color to look at on a bright LCD screen! :-) A darker orange shade or green would have worked better I'd think.

Thanks.

It's not as harsh now. As the sincerest form of flattery I have copied the colours from GMail. No doubt they have spent billions on determining exactly the right shade of red - one that alerts, without alarming.

Nice, the new color is subtle and does not hurt the eyes anymore. :thumbsup:

So you have just admitted to copying elements off another site! I will send 'the lads' round to collect a protection fee from the big g's lawyers. :)

One has to stop and think twice before pressing cancel, as data might get lost inadvertantly. Pressing post is the normal operation, and it can be undone, that is what the delete widget is for. Applying red for the normal use is as silly as using a Start button to shutdown a computer. :wtf:

Then we'd probably see The Code Project beta on top :-)

It's refined, well-bodied, yet has an air of sophistication about it without being stuffy. It's smooth, rounded contour lines are aerodynamic and sleek. It commands the attention of all who gaze upon it. :)
