Wow, I didn't expect add and remove to be so ill received. Perhaps I
should revisit them. What if I strenghtened the positive action =
green, negative action = red theme by changing their colors accordingly
to Red -, green +.
I was expecting upgrade, test, mail-total and mail-unread to have
mediocre feedback.
Deactivate (red octagon, "stop sign") is admittedly a stronger metaphor
than activate (green checkmark). It was tough to find a definitive
visual opposite for the stop sign. I could get rid of the checkmark and
combine activate with initialize as the green button, and make it
brighter so it more resembles a green light.
