[IDEA] Color "Saved wiki" lightgreen instead of yellow
Proposal Make the "Saved wiki" notificatoin be lightgreen to distinguish it from the yellow "Starting to save wiki".
Background On occasions I've clicked "Save" and had the "Starting to save wiki" show and the dirty save button turn to neutral.... but "Saved wiki" never showed up! I cannot reproduce this on command but I have a vague feeling it has been for local wikis, not sure. That problem is not what this concerns but the phenomenon forces very active observeration of that screen area to ensure that "Saved wiki" comes up before daring to proceed working. This would be mitigated if the "Saved wiki" had a color that clearly distinguishes it from "Starting to save wiki" because they are very similar in appearance, and position, and even in time (they overlap sometimes and more or less slide out at the same time)
Lightgreen is a nice "confirmatory" colour for this.
Side note: Is it worth posting a (separate) request about having the red saving button only turn neutral when the saving is completed/confirmed as opposed to initiated?
Hi @twMat I think that's an excellent idea. We might incorporate a green tick or red cross (like the testcase widget) too. I think we could do it in a backwards compatible way by defining more fields on the notification tiddlers.

Also good idea, especially if the "Starting to save wiki" remains without an icon - because then the two would be even more distinguishable from eachother then.
For icon, I strongly propose the usual -icon, for the relation to the save button.
add: A main point is to be able to distinguish the two even when they are in the eyes visual periphery.
