Change the Kill Instance Button Color

In the CurseForge app, when hovering over a game tile, the Play button appears in orange. After launching the game, that same button changes to a Kill Instance button and it remains orange.

I just noticed that while the game is loading, the button changes to “Cancel” and is shown in grey, which helps visually distinguish that state. That made me realize how helpful color differentiation already is during loading.

Would it be possible to apply a similar approach to the Kill Instance button? Since Play and Kill Instance are both orange, it’s easy to click Kill Instance by accident. When relying on quick visual cues. Changing Kill Instance to a different color would make it much clearer whether the game is launching or already running, or even an, are you sure (toggleable).

This small visual distinction would help prevent accidental clicks and improve usability.
