<span style="color:#ee9966">Providing feedback where the user actually looks when working is key. Its not always easy to tell that in advance, that's where user testing comes in. So you got come valuable information in your test here. One idea related to the coloring to consider: the app is called ChatSecure, so people expect secure messaging. That expectation can be represented in the app, so when the messages are secure, the app looks like a "normal" Android messaging app. Then use the color to represent when things are not secure. That could make the non-secure states stand out more.</span> | |||

<span style="color:#ee9966">This would be a very valuable thing to have for people using ChatSecure in high risk situations, where it is important that they don't mistakenly send messages insecurely. An example is a journalist under surveillance from the state. But for many people, it would just annoy them. I wouldn't discard this idea so quickly, I think it could be made workable. And it would work a lot better than a popup once the user learns it.</span> | |||
