Hi,
I find it difficult to read error messages (white text on "pink" background).
Text color red would be fine, IMO.

Hi,
I find it difficult to read error messages (white text on "pink" background).
Hi,
Not sure where "pink on white" shows up. I've only seen "pink on black".
Could I get a screenshot or steps to repro?
Text color red would be fine, IMO.

Try the demo server master branch, I see both -- the white text warns of missing PMA configuration storage features and the black text warns of root with no password.
The black text on pink background doesn't bother me much, but the white text does. Or Marc's suggestion of red text with a slightly off color background.

Thanks, Isaac.
My latest commit includeds:
.notice: which was yellow-ish, is now a light blue. .warning: is now the yellow-ish color that "notice" was. .error: changed to the pinkish background with black (not red) text. .success: background stays the green color.
I think this addresses the hard to read colors, and also puts colors in a more standard "order of importance", if there is such a thing. ; )

Mike,
The light blue of ".notice" can be confused with the color of links. See for example the server Status page.
For ".error", I'm happy with your change.
For ".success", I see a yellow background #EBF8A4 with green border #A2D246, with this what you meant?

Err, well, now I'm not. : )
On the demo server (Home screen), I see two messages at the bottom. One is ".warning" and the other is ".error". I'd suggest the two styles be identical (which is what I meant to do) . Would making them the same work well with other user cases in the app? Or does .error and .warning have specific meanings and they should look different?
For ".success", I see a yellow background #EBF8A4 with green border #A2D246, with this what you meant?
. I actually haven't changed the .success style since I "toned them down" about a month ago, per user feedback. So yes, it's greenish to me but, I'm OK with it as-is.

The idea was that an error is "worst" and needs more immediate attention than a warning; however the choice of error/warning is of course open to interpretation.
In the original theme, the icon is different. A warning is "softened" with the icon containing an exclamation mark but is still considered a somewhat problematic message.
Now I suspect that we could have only three levels, to remove the "open to interpretation" problem.
success: a confirmation that all is fine ("Table has been copied", "Bookmark created").
notice: a neutral message to inform of something ("Inserted row id", "Query took 0.01 seconds").
error: this is a problem (would cover the current errors and warnings).
For ".success", I see a yellow background #EBF8A4 with green border #A2D246, with this what you meant?

OK.

It pretty much makes sense.

Yes, tomorrow afternoon I should be able to get this in.
I'll also sync up the .error and .warning styles to be the same.

Cool, did we update all class ref's in PMA and remove/replace warning?
Just changed light blue to black on .notice. I think that helps distinguish.
Committed.
