I'm afraid that not *all* people are color-blind...
L. Hi Lukas
Not all, but hopefully enough to count! Forgetting the silly suggestions, I think for someone who can't really see red text in a mass of information like the partitioner, bolded or enlarged text should be used. Maybe with a confirmation before commiting, but we have to be careful not to over warn. I noticed on the partitioner earlier, when you delete a partition (as I tested with my HP_RECOVERY partiton), the partition is immediately removed from the screen, even though it still exists on disk, and I was able to cancel safely. This isn't good feedback to the user, and suggests that what they have done is immediate, even though the change hasn't been commited. I might have to file this as a seperate problem on bugzilla, away from the colour thing.
