This is the keypad at a gas station I use sometimes. I am always struck by how difficult it is to read the Enter and Clear keys. These are two of the most important keys. It seems obvious, doesn't it? Or am I colorblind?

Do Not Enter

This is the worst "Enter" sign I've seen. It looks exactly like a "Do Not Enter" sign. This almost makes me feel unwelcome. I prefer a solid green enter sign. I wonder if there are any non-english speakers shopping at Shaw's? Yes, most likely. OK, I've complained enough.

 

Live Mesh Usability Tweak

 

Dear Microsoft Live Mesh team.
I recommend that you change the blue text on blue background to another color, such as white. I sometimes have trouble reading the text. There is even less contrast between text and background as the text extends lower on the message box.

Thank You!
