For an unproxied site, I get a small green window with my own choice
of text in it (e.g. "Gmail" if I'm visiting https://mail.google.com).
If a proxy were to insert itself in the middle, that window would
turn yellow, and the message would change to "(untrusted)".
Assorted user studies suggest that most users do not notice the color
of random little windows in their browsers...
Ja I have always wondered why the entire browser color scheme doesn't
change ... granted users would just ignore it or complain it messes with
their skins / schemes but still would be appreciated ... I myself hardly
pay attention to the lock (its simply unobtrusive in a status bar full
of other applets and addons) and I know better :)
/me wonders if their is a security UI list
