Feature Suggestion for Next Update: Color-Coded Action Buttons

Description / Proposal:

I would like to suggest an improvement to the

control panel for the upcoming software update: applying color highlights to key operational buttons, specifically Start (Green) and Stop (Red), as shown in the mockup image.

Why this feature is important:

  • Faster Brain Processing & Reaction Time: The human brain recognizes color cues much faster than reading text labels. Bright visual indicators reduce cognitive friction and reaction time during machine operation.

  • Increased Operator Focus & Safety: Distinct color coding (Green for Start / Red for Stop) immediately captures attention and prevents accidental clicks, especially when operating industrial laser equipment.

  • Emergency Awareness: Having an instantly visible red Stop button allows the operator to act without delay in emergency situations.

  • Standard Industrial Alignment: Matching the software interface with traditional industrial control panels creates a more intuitive and safer user experience.
