I had router trouble recently and needed to make sure I had the most recent firmware. Thus began The Quest for a Clickable Download Link.
First, it was an ordeal even finding this page on linksysbycisco.com (lame URL by the way). Once here all I wanted was a “Download Drivers” button. Instead I had to hunt for the tiny blue link on a blue background that lives far far away from the select router version dropdown.
The fix is simple: make “Download” look like a shiny button, maybe in orange or lime green, and put it right under the required “select router version” step.

One of these System Tray icons is not like the other: You can tell I’m a Windows refugee because I call this “System Tray” and not “Menu Extras”.
Listen up Mac developers: DON’T DO THIS. The last thing we need is a loudness war. The only time these icons need color is when there’s an emergency like “low battery”.
