    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:

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

            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:

            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.

              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. :)
