The red and blue color suggestion i made, was more for distinguishing from the close button from the other two, so users whom aren't color blind have a less chance of clickinbg the wrong button. I personally can see the orange to grey difference, however others like yourself dont notice it as easily which is y i suggested changing the shape of the icon to a dead bug on its back.
as far as graphics go, ill see what i can whip up that looks neet. kara --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
