From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: This is a trivial change, but the RHN Alert icon displays a green color when it's checking status and blue when the the users software is current. A more logical color choice would be: red: software is not current yellow: software status is being checked green: software is current Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable RHN Notification Tool 2. Check for updates Additional info:
I think the red/green color combination is a poor choice since the most common form of color blindness is red/green.
True, but that's the common convention for non-colorblind people and the software already addresses colorblindness with it's use of status iconography as shown here: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/RHNetwork/ref-guide/enterprise/1.1/applet-notification-icons.html
