Since the dawn of the CheckBook Era, our use of color\u00c2\u00a0has\u00c2\u00a0been about helping folks identify Deposits vs. Debits at a glance, without thinking too hard. \u00c2\u00a0So when we added the running balance column years ago we decided to not color the individual balance figures because we thought it’d look a little\u00c2\u00a0messy, unkempt even, a bit more\u00c2\u00a0rainbow stew than helping hand.<\/p>\n

Besides,<\/em> we thought, a negative balance\u00c2\u00a0has\u00c2\u00a0a negative symbol.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ehhh…<\/p>\n

Symbols work in different ways\u00c2\u00a0for different people. \u00c2\u00a0Same thing with color. \u00c2\u00a0Some are just fine with symbols, some need colored amounts. \u00c2\u00a0It’s really easy to tell when you miss the mark on something like that, when “should do” doesn’t quite, cause you tend to get a few messages here and there about it. \u00c2\u00a0Sometimes more than a few.<\/p>\n

True story.<\/p>\n

And by Jobs, when CheckBook 2.6 is ready we’re gonna give our folks what they need.<\/p>\n

Behold!<\/strong><\/p>\n
