10.4: Remove yellow from the Print Supplies button
Authored by: mphasak on May 31, '05 02:25:57PM

Ugh, I'm glad someone likes it.

Thanks for the hint, Anonymous/rob! To me, this is the most insulting type of "feature" -- added clutter for the benefit of a vendor, not a user, sitting there next to frequently-used buttons and hijacking my workflow when I accidently click on it. I can't believe it turns yellow! (I'm actually hoping to remove the button altogether, and will post if I figure that out...)

It's like the HP printers that open a complaint box every time you print (or stop working altogether) when there's plenty of usable toner left, but little enough that they think they can get away with nagging you to send them more money.

This feature wasn't proposed by interface designers -- it was proposed by the marketing dept.
