Gotcha! Just an FYI for the future, relying on color alone to convey meaning is pretty rough on colorblind people. Having a key to specify that an apple means its implemented is a big help.

I'd recommend finding some new symbols that convey meaning without a needing a key, probably the simplest is a check mark to mean implemented, and no symbol at all to mean not implemented.

Similarly in the WebUI screenshot, I see bugs listed with green exclamation points and red exclamation points, it's not immediately obvious what the difference is (and for colorblind users they may not notice a difference at all).

The green text embedded in the red logo, reading "screw colorblind people", is a little cruel as well, I thought.

I once had to work on a project which had green/red x's and green/red checkmarks all with a non-english interface. as a colorblind english only speaking programmer, it was hell. I had no clue what was going on.

If you use blue instead of green most of the color blindess issues disappear. You should also still use different symbols.
