💡 New notice color for block compatibility alert
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Context
I'm sharing this as an idea, in case others may see this useful. While testing nightly on a site with plugins that had updates it was hard to see the compatibility alert because it uses the same color as updates alert. Some people might not notice that it's a different type of alert. So it might be a good idea to introduce a different notice color dedicated to block compatibility, to help these alerts stand out from the rest of the update alerts.
Possible implemantion
Implement a new alert color and class.
Possible Solution
Introduce a new notice class .notice-compatibility.
Color: #fff5ea
Background: #ffa035
This is in-between warning (yellow) and error (red) notices. So it stands out, but not as bad as a red notice.
Will you be able to help with the implementation?
Yes
Another possible fix for this is to amend the classes we already use here.
Instead of:
<div class="notice inline notice-alt notice-warning">
We could use
<div class="notice inline notice-alt notice-error">
My reservation about using notice-error is that it indicates an error when something is broken. People might assume the plugin is broken and unusable. That's why I thought the middle ground between yellow and red might be suitable.
One other option is to use the original notice class by removing notice-alt. It does look different:
