I'm not complaining here, but something has happened to my Mythic Scribes notifications bar (y'know, that thingy at the top of the screen?)
Apparently while I wasn't paying attention, things have changed. Instead of a soothing light blue highlight when I receive a PM or Rep Comment, now all I see is red. A highlight of bright crimson shouting out "RED ALERT!!! RED ALERT!!!" in a figurative sense.
I'm suddenly afraid to click on the angry notifications bar, as if now all news is bad news. Soon it will begin to infiltrate my dreams, and the angry notifications bar will begin to chase my dream-self around my mind as he brandishes a butcher knife and screams "RED ALERT!!! RED ALERT!!!"
Color communication is important. When something must attract attention, red should be used. But red is the color of blood, rage, and violence. Is such a thing really neccesary?
But I'm not complaining. I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this, or if it's just me.
