Styling input widgets on error

Our data entry staff has complained that the error-styling in our fields is not terribly noticeable. Currently, we're just setting the foreground color to red.

This has a couple of problems:

  • For empty fields, there's nothing to actually color red
  • Our color blind user has trouble distinguishing the red from the normal text color

We'll use our styling knowledge to improve the error styling and make invalid fields more noticeable.

Before we can do that, though, you may have to fix a minor issue with one of our widgets.
