Lots of records (Constituent, Gift, Action etc) look similar, and it's very easy to get confused between constituent attributes, gift attributes, action attributes and so on, both while navigating in records, and while looking for fields in query and export. A simple colour coding scheme (e.g. Blue for constituents, green for gifts, yellow for actions) of the window border or background would improve navigation, and make the software much more accessible for beginners. I spend a lot of time trawling through the query field options, reading all the tiny labels, if I could just scan down to the green text, it would be a lot easier. RE is a very clever tool, but the grey makes it look dated, complicated and uninviting.
