Decrease velocity contrast works odd

Hi Sherry,

That's funny. I looked at a couple of error messages displayed in red, and forgot that they were shown in red. And then I didn't even continue looking at them to see that the screaming red fades out after some seconds. Hey, that's a good UI, Mark (talking to myself).

But perhaps it could be improved by flashing something down there in the status bar to get the user's attention. Or maybe there is some other better way to further draw the user's attention to the error message in the status bar.

I'm open to suggestions here about improving the feedback to the user about "you asked me to do something that is not permitted" messages.

Cheers
