Still looking for comments as some people have hit on issues I've been wondering about.

My two cents: my tiny amount of training in design tells me that the best designs are those that don't appear to be designed at all -- underlining the "highlight what matters" point above, I guess.

The grey screenshot is VERY grey, and perhaps gives a subliminal impression of functionality over excitement.

Personally, I like the shocked smiley for the warning: it DOES draw attention to itself, which is what you want. From that viewpoint, it's worth considering diversions from "standards" when you want to increase the chance that the user might actually read what's onscreen. It's a balancing act, I guess, but isn't everything?
