I want to find out if any of you have used these buttons in your<br>
interface and have done any testing with your users to see if they<br>
understand the difference between the two. Also, if you have used it<br>
in other ways that has been helpful to your users, chime in!<br>
<br>
Progressive (blue) conveys to the user that they are starting or<br>
continuing a multi-step process.<br>
Constructive (green) conveys to the user they are completing a single<br>
or multi-step process. In most case Constructive color shows the user<br>
what will happen. In others it is feedback that the action has<br>
completed. For example, thanking a user, adding a page to a watch<br>
list.<br>
