The powercog (or whatever it's called, last icon, top-right) is also painted
red when a reboot is required!

Blue (reminder) / Red (urgent) is a great idea, as very few people have
dyschromatopsia on these colors (normally it's red-green (frequent) or
blue-yellow (less frequent). Having both is pretty rare and total
achromatopsia is ~1:33000).
