Matt, we're not planning on getting rid of blue buttons but the colors will now have meaning, and since this is a one step action (send a password reset email) it gets a green button here. 

Blue = Progressive (more steps in the process)
Green = Constructive/Completion (only/final step in a process)
Red = Destructive

Thanks for doing this Jon.

When I used the Vector version, at first I got an all black screen, which
made me think it was broken. I guess that was just a CSS rule to click and
delete? :)

Yes.

Yeah, if we don't have a bug about settling on one overlay style, we
should. This is pretty bad. Maybe the work being done to split out
ve.ui/oo.js/whatever we're calling it might help us settle on a standard?

Extension:GuidedTour. Matt will explain more I'm sure.

Right.  As noted, it's not actually being used.

To complicate it further, I think the UX team actually now wants to go in a totally different direction with no blue buttons at all (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:WMF_DESIGN_Password_Reset.png).

So we should try to finalize that if possible.  That might avoid people having to go back and change their HTML twice (once to use mw-ui, another to e.g. add another layer).

In some cases CSS can be changed alone, but sometimes they have to be changed in tandem, which is more code to touch.

CCing the design list.
