I don't know about the red overlay, but I agree that it's a very intriguing 
extension to the UI.

As suggested, you could use a custom formatter to reject strings over a certain 
length. That will do the expected thing and play the bonk! sound effect when 
the user tries to enter too much text.

But you should definitely file a radar asking for that flash behavior. That 
sounds like a promising line of investigation. Plus we could really stand to 
get access to the focus ring.
