It's all about integrations. We have all sorts of server messages and errors in a couple of our Slack engineering channels. Slack provides almost no way to visually distinguish these messages based on importance. In Hipchat, we had red/yellow/green background colors that worked great.
To be clear, I'm not dead set on having background colors. I just really miss having a good visual distinction between messages.
- Klathmon 11y agoI came on a little strong there, it's just saying things like "how could they not have [insert niche feature here]?" drives me up a damn wall! But that makes sense, and it would be a nice to have. In the meantime can you "hack it in" via different icons per status?
- baddox 11y agoWe do it with icons. It's still nowhere near as immediately recognizable at a glance, but I suppose it's fine. I just had a thought: you could embed an image preview that's just a solid red square. That would be very noticeable for important errors.
