> Hrmm.. it seems like a floating panel might be hard to distinguish from
a CSS popup in a malicious webpage, especially since it seems bound to the
interior of a browser window.

> What if we turned the Torbutton yellow, changed the tooltip text, and
added a menu option that sent users to the update link? Would people
notice this, or we still need a popup?
Yellow and green are too difficult for colorblind users to distinguish.
Consider using blue or purple to indicate that an update is available, and
consider adding an ‘emblem’ on top of the icon as well.
