Rick,
No... I get that... the need here is for an Ok / Info type message and a
Warn type message e.g. If someone just canceled editing an article
neither a <X> error icon nor a <checkmark> icon is appropriate... a
warning is more appropriate via say an <!> icon.
This is not uncommon in software to provide 3 message states... info,
warn and error.
Stripes supports 2 but not everything is black or white sometimes its
grey... ;-)
I looked at handling this by making the warning messages special cases
that would include a little extra HTML (and CSS) as follows:
cancel.canceledTx=<span class="warn">We canceled the changes you were
making to this {0}.</p>
Problem is that this doesn't work very well for the size and placement
of the warn image (its now inside a span). Not to mention in the
overriden warn case we are trying to place the image in the span and in
the info case we are trying to place it in the div. Just messed up all
around.
Oh well...

Nikolaos,
You can use the following in your StripesResources.properties files:
The following is for standard messages:
stripes.messages.header=<br/><div class="checkmark">
stripes.messages.beforeMessage=
stripes.messages.afterMessage=
stripes.messages.footer=</div>
Notice the 'class="checkmark"' piece.
The following is for errors:
stripes.errors.header=<br/><div class="error">The following errors
occurred:</div><div class="error"><ol>
stripes.errors.beforeError=<li>
stripes.errors.afterError=</li>
stripes.errors.footer=</ol></div>
This is only one possible example you could use. Obviously, tailor it
to your needs. But do you actually need more than just an error CSS
class and an information CSS class? If so, then I'd think you need to
write your own rendering strategy for messages.

Hi,
So in Stripes we can display messages OR errors to users and
everything
seems OK.
Editing the resource file makes in tandem with CSS appears to work
well.
However, what if one wants to display different types of messages for
users like a Warning and Ok (checkmark)?
e.g. "<checkmark-icon> Your article was saved"
e.g. "<warn-icon> The language of this Article is English however you
have selected Spanish"
Is this possible with Stripes?
