Change in colors

Stephanie Ann Williams said: I am having trouble with the new colouring system. My granddaughter and I are working on a large family descending tree and we are both sharing names with the temple. Now that people she has shared show the same light green I have to go into that person's record and check each one. It is a waste of time for her and for me. I wish you could have made the colours slightly different. We started this project just before the change and it was so efficient. But not now.

This has been hashed and rehashed over and over.

Consider how a non-member (who cannot see the temple icons) does their descendancy research.

Consider Jim Greene's advice:

We are no longer in a position where names submitted to the temple is more important than to have the ordinances performed. Therefore, while not changing the meaning we are changing the emphasis of the green temple. We need to think of it as "This ordinance is available for temple work to be performed." It does not mean "This ordinance is ready to be requested/reserved or submitted/shared with the temple." (This clarified statement was made by Jim Greene on June 17th.)

The modified statement about the emphasis being changed appeared in the https://getsatisfaction.com/familysea... discussion on June 17th.
