Bug Description

1. Hold down the Power button.

What you see: A "Power" dialog appears with a stack of three buttons: "Power off" in red, "Restart" in green, and "Cancel" in black. The effect is that of a tricolor flag. <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Aalsmeer>

What you should see: Something that doesn't look like a tricolor.

Possible solutions include:
* Reducing the number of colors.
* Changing to horizontal icon-only buttons (bug 1377146).
* Abolishing the dialog somehow.

Is the "Cancel" supposed to be a label, or a flat button? In any case, it has weird alignment.

I reported a bug yesterday that the colours disappeared. Why "What you should see: Something that doesn't look like a tricolor."? Please tell me why.

"Yeah, sure. Let's make from this phone a Nokia 3210. Grey, black and white. I mean it is not about how does it looks like if You prefer it red, yellow, green etc. it is about contrast. I do not know where did You learn programming but my teacher was always telling me that icon and colours are better to work with and to memorize than grey/white terminal alike buttons. Let's say it straight: if I wanted to switch off my phone i clicked a red button, I rebooted it with a green one and cancelled with a black one. Now what You did is You forced people to READ and reading from a small screen is bad idea. Let's preceed this way ladies and gentlemen: let's remove all icons and replace them with strings! Small grey buttons with strings to read. Do You remember GNOME 2? The menu with lists? If You wanted to start a program from this menu, did You looked for strings or icons? I bet You do not know unless You changed the language in Your systems or what far better the theme especially to something as extreme as Ubuntu Satanic edition. Our brain works better with symbols, icons and colours. That's why someone created Gnome or KDE instead of reading things from a terminal.

I ai no idea if You're gonna leave it this way but I reported this but not because I didn't liked the colours. I reported it cause now while switching off my phone I have to READ what to click. My intuition doesn't work any more.

Best regards GTriderXC"
