Do you maybe know of any other places that we could use pop-ups like this?
Personally I missed it the most in the Watch and Delete dialogs but 
there are bound to be others.

I must say that I think that because of these changes the 2 buttons for 
Watch and Delete could be merged into one, because the _only_ difference 
between them now is the default behaviour for hitting ENTER/SPACE. (Of 
course it will take more action to delete a recording, but for deleting 
that might not be much of a problem).

Cheers,
