Bug Description
I now understand (after reading feature request #248403) that the layer timestamp is color-coded to indicate the relationship between OBS_TIME and data availability.
It was not intuitively obvious to me what the color-coding meant while using the software. When I Added a layer and the first one had a green timestamp and the second one a red, I thought it is a color differentiation between the two layers, not that it had an underlying meaning about time proximity between the two layers.
This problem could be mitigated by a tool-tip (there is not one now) but I am not sure that it is a strong enough cue given the severity of what this notification implies. Notifying the user that layer #1 has an EIT from Nov 21, 2009 while the closest layer #2 of LASCO is from May 12, 2006 should perhaps be more "intrusive" and not as subtle as a color change.
