2013-05-24 10:48:11 B Bobo description When a download fails, the download window shows the failed download. However, if there are many successful downloads and just one failed download, the download window has a long list showing just one line for the failed download among hundreds of similar looking lines of successful downloads. It is very hard to notice a failed download quickly. The worst problem is the keyword "Failed" is in very pale grey against a pure white background - this is not a sensible choice of shading. Not everybody can see pale grey against white. Please think of people with visual disabilities! Even for people with normal vision, this should not be the default shading. Please make it higher contrast. For example, show the failed downloads in pure red text against a pure white background and show the successful downloads in pure black text against a pure white background. The example list below is obviously displayed in launchpad's own style, so it is clearer than firefox's, but even so, it suffers from being badly designed and has poor accessibility.
