Color Choice

Do you suppose this should be pale green in color instead of hideous yellow to better match the Symbol we use with it? It would still be rather eye-catching, methinks:

I'm colorblind, but I'm fine with changing it--looks okay to me. I'm not sure I like changing the border to black though. How about this? It's the background color darkened significantly (in HSV, I took V from 100 to 50).

I didn't care one iota about the border color... I was just too lazy to look up a HEX color that looked right. Smilies smile.gif So, that's fine by me. —Thirty7 Talk-Icon.jpg 20:25, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Gotta admit I'm a little blinded by the green. When we first talked about the color it was to keep it in a comic book theme. *shrug* -- Blondeshell 21:37, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Well, both of them look fine to me, so consider me as having no opinion then. :) -- Sekoia 22:44, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Better? Toned it down a bit. I guess I don't really get the yellow box idea from that thread. But, if folks have a strong preference not to make it match, that's cool with me.

BTW, the rounded corner thing is AWESOME!

I don't like the green. At all. EdNotes shouldn't pop out like that, they should moderately blend in. The wiki is about the documentation, not the editor's notes. ~ User:Aggelakis/Sig1 01:47, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Are you saying that the green blends in less than the eye-searing yellow it currently is, Agge? Blondeshell: Oddly enough, I never really read many comics. Got into the genre due to all the cartoons in the 90s —Thirty7 Talk-Icon.jpg 03:05, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Fair enough: Two different roads to the same destination. Smilies smile.gif -- Blondeshell 03:29, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Yes, that is what I'm saying. The yellow is rather subdued and matches the comic book style well. ~ User:Aggelakis/Sig1 04:01, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
*Shrug* In looking more, "eye-searing" was an overstatement... but I also don't think the color "blends in" either. I have to agree with the comic part though, from what I have seen. Oh well, I wasn't overly passionate about a change, just suggesting something I had thought of. —Thirty7 Talk-Icon.jpg 04:09, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Icon

I happened to stumble over Healthbar notify mail.png and thought it might literally be interpreted as an EdNote. I also played around with the idea of grey-scaling the image, a la EdNote.png and EdLetter.png. My only reason to alter the icon would be to increase the "subdued-ness" and "blending in" mentioned above. As well as the fact that not all EdNotes are really OMG!! exclamation point worthy. So, the literal note/letter might match the idea better. *shrug* Just idle pondering. Any thoughts? User:Thirty7/Sig 15:33, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
