| Iâm new to Gixen but am excited by the possibilities and wish I would have found this sooner. I won my first auction and have become a Mirror subscriber. As far as using colors to glean some quick status infoâ¦
How about a break line between ENDED and ACTIVE (new feature), green if a winner (new feature). All other coloring remains as is. ENDED (WHITE/GRAY = LOST) ENDED (GREEN = YOU WON) (new feature) ENDED (WHITE/GRAY = LOST) ==================== (ENDED/ACTIVE BREAK LINE new feature) ACTIVE (WHITE/GRAY) ACTIVE (WHITE/GRAY) ACTIVE (WHITE/GRAY) ACTIVE (YELLOW, YOU ARE OUTBID) ACTIVE (WHITE/GRAY) ACTIVE (WHITE/GRAY) ACTIVE (WHITE/GRAY) or maybe instead of the single break line, you might prefer 2 headings... [ENDED] blaw blaw blaw (GREEN for winners) [ACTIVE] blaw blaw blaw (no color changes) |

| Sorry my mistake.
YELLOW would only be for BID NOT ENTERED. Once you add a bid it would either be WHITE (valid) or ORANGE (too low). |

| The traffic light system makes sense with minor modifications to keep it in line with existing colour usage.
YELLOW - no bid entered or below min (as now) WHITE - bid entered and above current bid (as now) ORANGE - bid entered is BELOW current bid or bid increment RED - Editing (as now) Then AFTER the auction has ended... PINK (actually a paler shade of RED) - you LOST GREEN (a light shade) - you WON. The lighter shades would easily identify auctions that have ended. I realise that Gixen does not update auctions in real time so WHITE/ORANGE would not necessarily be up to date, but where you enter a bid a day or more in advance it should update sufficiently that youâd be warned a few hours before the end that your bid is now too low. ie pretty much as it does now but ORANGE brings more attention to it than reverting to YELLOW. |

| Your color scheme plan seems to imply a false assumption: that bids placed via gixen are tracked in real time at the gixen web interface. Which they are not.

Well, I can understand that changing the meaning of existing colors is not desired ... but ... The color scheme I proposed was used by another (German) sniper (which still is no longer supported) and had a "logical" meaning (like "Traffic lights"). White = blank = nothing defined Green = you are on the secure side - at the moment. If nothing changes you will win the auction Yellow - Attention = though at the moment your bid is leading, you don't know whether the max bid of the others will be higher = pay attention! Red - Alert! Warning! Other bids are higher. You must act! Red |

| Red is already used for editing, and yellow for max bid under current price. I am open, however, to adding more colors that don't change the existing meaning of these two colors. | |

| Hello,
what do you think of this color scheme for Gixen DTM? For active offers: White - if I hadn't set any bid yet Green - if I had set a bid and there is no other bidder Yellow - there is/are other bidder(s), I had set a bid which is higher than the current price (But with still the risk that my max bid is not sufficient) Red - my max bid is too low Old auctions: White - ended and I had not set any bid Green - won the auction Red - lost the autction Thus I think, with a quick glance you can see the status for your biddings and if necessary act. |
