      Thanks! Don't know why that color is bothering me so much, guess it's just one of those things... Posted (pleaded) on the thread you linked, so hopefully Chris will change it, otherwise I'm forced to resize my browser window to fit the textarea. :)

        I like it this way, it shows up much better than the old orange. Also I'm less likely to confuse it with the other buttons.

          I find the red button to be extremely retro. It helps the ancient ones see it better. :)

            Because red is the color associated with cancellation, green is the action color of choice. :)

              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.

                  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.

                          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:

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

                                      Why then is the "Submit your question" button in Q&A green? :doh:

                                      Fed up by FireFox memory leaks I switched to Opera and now CP doesn't perform its paste magic, so links will not be offered. Sorry.
