In terms of user interface design both methods are bad. Using red gives a bad visual cue. While it may be more usefull as a color, its much worse at conveying the message to the player. On the other hand the green gives the right visual cue, but its harder to distinguish on top of other greens. For right now I would prefer to stick with the green. It conveys the corrent message, and its still mostly usable. I can expiriement with some different shades of green if needed. Different drawing technique can go into the next release. -- Extra cheese comes at a cost. Bradley Arsenault.
