@lduboeuf
dialog-warning-symbolic

@lduboeuf I took it from other icons like transfer-error, where it is put in a corner (see here)

@AppLee said in UI for MMS errors:

My point was that red already point towards an error.

Pardon my intrusion. I think an error shouldn't differ only with color. It's good practice to presume that user is colorbind, or the display is only b/w, etc. Just saying.

Btw, I like the one with round icon and left red bar, as @CiberSheep does.

@lduboeuf
simple, clear and visible with no frills: my favourite

Thanks for the propositions, i will try my best, and come back here
I've found mail-mark-important in actions/scalable very closed to the red icon. I guess i can apply a red ColorOverlay to it.

IMO the text is too long.I'll think about a better message.

Would it be possible to add a link to automatically pull the MMS ?

Thanks ( i hope it will not change that much, because i need to update each time in 2 project... )

That the final goal, but another story that i can't do alone. For instance only notify the user a MMS was lost: see here for discussion: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5100/the-mms-lost-story/7

I would propose the following text: "You received an MMS that could not be downloaded because your internet connection was disabled. Please activate it and ask the sender to try again".

Also, about the design, can you please try to put the content of your last mock up (including the exclamation mark and the red border) inside the message bubble of the sender, and written in italic? That way it really shows that a message should have been received there.
