Bug ID: 431426
Summary: Feature Request: Failed signature message is too small
and non-prominent
Product: kmail2
Version: 5.15.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Screenshot of failing signature
SUMMARY
When a message is signed using S/MIME (and probably GPG), a small red or green
border is put around the message and a small information block is printed above
the message (see screenshot).
This message is ok for correctly signed messages as one does not want to bother
the user with a working infrastructure.
However, the failing case should be made more prominent. The message should be
made bigger and "brighter". Especially for me (partly color blind), it is
almost impossible to get the color "as a byproduct". I have to read the text
that can be easily taken for the message of a successful signature.
So, I vote to make the text at least 3 times bigger in case of failure and
maybe even a thicker border. One could add this as an optional setting for
disabled people in the settings if you do not want to clutter the default UI.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an email with valid S/MIME signature
2. Open an email with invalid signature
OBSERVED RESULT
The messages are very close in the text appearance.
EXPECTED RESULT
More prominent warning of a failed signature check
