Zitat:
We overwarn in Windows programs. The typical Windows program has warning icons seemingly everywhere, warning about things that have little significance. In some programs, nearly every question is presented as a warning. Overwarning makes using a program feel like a hazardous activity, and it detracts from truly significant issues.
The mere potential for data loss alone is insufficient to call for a warning icon. Additionally, any undesirable results should be unexpected or unintended and not easily corrected. Otherwise, just about any incorrectly answered question could be construed to result in data loss of some kind and merit a warning icon.
To focus warning icons on truly critical issues:
Make sure that the issue warrants heightened user attention. Routine confirmations and questions shouldn't have warning icons.
Are users likely to behave differently as a result of the warning icon? Are users likely to consider the decision more carefully?
So wie ich das interpretiere, sollte bei mtConfirmation eher gar kein Icon angezeigt werden, laut Microsoft.
Bei kritischen Fragen das gelbe Ausrufezeichen.
Bei Informationen das blaue Ausrufezeichen.
Bei Fehler das rote Kreuz.
