Thread:Talk:Style guide/Forms/Buttons/reply

I agree that those colors are extreme, and that's intentional. There's marked, measurable changes with brighter color buttons based on user behavior. I'm not worried about implementation but I should find myself exceptionally surprised if jQuery.UI can't do more intense colors. I don't believe that we should stay with a button design just because it's the current style and there are several instances (even from internal interviews) where the current button styles get lost.

As far as the reset button: you're right; I included the reset button as an example, and don't really intend for it to be used. It's there for completion ("reset" as an action type). I don't want to say directly "Never use reset" because for all we know that could be untrue (though I'm at loss to come up with one in the moment). I think wording needs to be included that reset is strongly discouraged and I'll remove the reset button from the example. Probably replace it with a different fourth button ("preview?")

"Cancel" and destructive actions I'm less adverse to but I think they absolutely need to be called out for what they are. I don't like the word "cancel" in most instances, though ("Cancel what? What am I canceling?") but that's a larger issue.
