Red color in user interface

Question

Dear all,

I am testing X-Plane 11.00pb3.

I noticed something slightly distracting and I was wondering if Laminar could reconsider using red coloured dots that close pop-up windows (e.g. Garmin's system windows). It is not a big issue but perhaps violet would be less worrying when taking quick glance :)

Answer 1

I believe that color was chosen because it matches the standard UI for Mac, although it doesn't match Windows UI (you close windows with the X icon in the corner instead).
