Announcement has altert colors

[qubodup]

The color of the announcement has extreme urgency colors but the content is irrelevant for 99.99% and even for 0.01% only relevant once.

I suggest

1. using calmer colors.

2. using local storage to allow users both logged in and out to close it with an 'x' in the top right corner.

I'm using this in a userstyle for now:

section.bw-announcement_banner {
    background-color: white;
    color: grey;
}

section.bw-announcement_banner a {
    background-color: white;
    color: grey;
}

Hi, thanks for suggesting this!
I agree the red color might be too much. Maybe we could have different options, in case some announcements do really requite "urgency" (which might not be the case). Also the cookie thing for closing the announcement is a good idea. I made a copule color tests. I think maybe finding something in between your proposal and the current version, something that does not convey a sense of urgency but that still draws the attention?

Maybe even something that follows the red color but much less saturated?

Thank you, either of these is an improvement.
One could also use the exact same color scheme of the cookie toast notification from my topmost screenshot.
Whichever ends up being used, I recommend testing it with the dark theme.
