           Summary: marking a message as important should be more visuable
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: m.wege at web.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I just marked a message as important the first time. And I was astonished to
find the message marked green(!). And also the icon at the beginning of the
line, did not change, which would have been something I would expect.
I am aware that it is possible to change the colour manually. But I believe
there should be sane defaults. First that would be changing the icon into that
which is presented in the menu when you choose "mark as important" (which is
the one akregator uses for the same purpose). Secoundly the colour should not
be green. I am not sure what I would suggest, but may be inverted green. May be
usability people know what is best.
Third (may be this would be a separate wish, tell me if it is necessary): How
messages should be marked should be shared between apps like mailody,
akgregator, kmail (and possibly others) like the places toolbar is shared in
the filedialogue. Meaning there should be a general setting for all apps, which
can be changed also on per app basis.
