While it is columnar, the D is in a dark blue font. If you happen to be |
| 16 |
using a dark background, there is extremely little contrast. Perhaps it |
| 17 |
could be a different color that would stick out in both light and dark |
| 18 |
backgrounds? |

Also something that has always bugged me... isn't the U supposed to be |
| 21 |
for upgrade and the D for downgrade? In this case, it would make sense |
| 22 |
to only show the D when downgrades will occur, and not both, wouldn't it? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Not that I have ever had a problem with downgrades (that I remember), |
| 25 |
but I think these two tidbits would probably be an overall improvement. |
