Colour of new checkmate icon

As of today there is a new feature in puzzles whereby checkmate results in a red # icon appearing near the losing king.

That’s a nice touch, but I wonder whether devs would consider changing the colour of the icon to black or even green.

As a regular player of puzzle streak, I usually see a red icon only when I make a mistake, and this new red icon appearing frequently is quite jarring.

Dear devs, please listen to this! Surely mating the opposing king is a good thing for the player solving puzzles.

Green = good! Upon checkmate, both the player's king's cup symbol and the opposing king's # symbol could be green.
Right now, we get green and red simultaneously, and it's not even Christmas yet.

If red becomes the color for mistakes only, the UI would have a more consistent feel IMHO.

This feature must at all have option to be disabled OR TURNED OFF ENTRIELY as unneeded.

Why the matter which color it is if this is useless?)

SITE DIES

Chess arose from the ancient Indian game of chaturanga, quickly spreading throughout Europe and, eventually, the world. For more than fifteen centuries it outlived empires. It survived wars, the industrial revolution, and the advent of computers.

It ended unexpectedly in the year 2026, when a free website introduced mandatory colored icons. This provoked such universal outrage that casual play and organized chess collapsed almost overnight.

Historical agents generally regard this decision as humanity's greatest atrocity and the primary reason AI chose to eradicate the species.

And not only site — this can be redirected to other online and offline systems. As someone in my nearly-close circle said, this is often met aspect of enlarging such systems. So in dimension of Lichess we have what we have. But no pessimism (chess masters are with us).

This comment is funny. Lol. But there is difference between "site dies" and "chess dies".
