165571 - Too much red (icons)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, enhancement)

Description

[Felix Miata]

Red, orange, and yellow are colors for sportscars, fire engines,  warnings,
dangers, and other things in need of attracting attention quickly. Mozilla needs
to attract users, but not distract those who already have icons on the desktop
or Mozilla loaded. The splashscreen and web site might be tolerable with so much
red, but not elsewhere. When I see red on the screen, I am drawn to think
something is wrong or needs attention, and others likewise. Please replace the
new icons with something appropriately less attention demanding and distractive.
The pre-1.0 icon set was much nicer..

Sorry, from your newsgroup posting today I got the impression that this bug was
brand new; didn't realize you filed it before the ui design comp. became deprecated.

IIRC, there were only one little green lizard in the pre-1.1 versions, not a
complete icon set?

It is the green lizard (or gecko) that was nice.  Plz bring it back ort make it
an option.  I really prefer it to the 1.1 icons set.

If this bug is for Firefox, it should be marked as FIXED. If it's for SeaMonkey,
it should not be assigned to Blake Ross.

I don't see anything significantly red in our current UI.
