    Exclamation REALLY need to highlight Destroy Building icon on screen!!!

    Hey guys,

    When you select Destroy Street,
    the cursor on the screen is a really really bright green bracket
    with a big bright green square in the middle.

    When you're zoomed out it still shows up pretty good anywhere on the screen.

    When you select Destroy Building,
    the cursor on the screen is a really dull red bracket
    with a really dull bomb icon in the middle.

    Yes, it does highlight when you hover over a building.
    But the entire building also highlights
    along with the description blocking your view.

    The cursor is not very visible.

    When you're zoomed out the Destroy Building cursor doesn't show up all that well.

    Playing around with the new features for just a few minutes,
    I've already selected several buildings I didn't mean to.

    The Destroy Building cursor needs to be as bright bright red as possible
    so no one forgets what mode their cursor is in while moving around on the screen.

    I'd even drop the bomb icon and just have a big bright red square in the middle
    like the Destroy Street cursor.

    If players screw up and accidentally destroy a few really high level buildings
    they're really really going to be pissed.....

    AGREED! It is very hard to see! (regardless of the Confirmation Box!)

    Think that's a little harsh. Although it's true that you should be paying more attention, I think we should focus our disappointment in the epicly stupid towards blue byte for this one. Really annoying way to have to destroy a building that was yet another unnecessary change that we were fine without. Thanks for nothing!

    I can not understand why this is such a big deal, I mean if you miss that pop up then something is wrong. Just sayin..

    The popup is a great safety feature and that's what stopped me from destroying my buildings.

    Sometimes windows pop up while you're clicking and you accidentally hit something you didn't mean to.
    (I've upgraded with gems instead of resources before because I double clicked the exact spot on the screen
    when I meant to single click and the next window had the confirm button in the same spot)

    I know, being in a hurry, tired, not paying attention, forgot it was still active.

    Destroying a building is kind of serious - a lot more serious than destroying a street section.
    But the destroy street cursor is a heck of a lot more visible than the destroy building cursor.

    Making the icon stand out as much as possible would be a good thing.
