Re: Red SAVE Button

[Chris Morton <salt -dot- morton -at- gmail -dot- com>]

There are UI conventions. They exist for a reason. Any time some entity
decides to colorize stuff in their own way just annoys the cr_p out of me,
and cheapens the company's software, IMHO. The default Windows XP scheme is
no exception (which I immediately change to the so-called Classic scheme).

To not mince any words, a made-up whore is still a whore.
