HI,
Don't want to seem like I'm butting in but how bout road sign shapes they
have colors and shapes that most people know meaning of: stop sign is read
and has the familiar octagon shape, triangle for caution is usually orange,
and a circle for green might be a good way to do it. Just my 2 cents. Love
the hobbit no matter what the icons it is the best!!
Thank You

I've always had it easy seeing colors but I am near sighted. I can see the
Hobbit display on a projector that is a good ~18 feet wide, reading the text
as well. Colors were easier to read so it must be Galen's idea of "Macular
Degeneration" or some sort of color blindness.
Maybe we should follow the idea of doing different symbols. A green plus,
red X, yellow circle for <24h and maybe just animate them for anything >24h?
Also I've been kind of curious as to why the default green <24h icon is a
triclops...

If you've ever been to a real NOC, you'll notice that they usually have a
large set of displays that are set up around the room for viewing problems
at a glance. I can understand where they would be viewing from a distance.
Ideally, to aid color blind folks (I work with a guy that has Macular
Degeneration and requires a special application that reverses his video) and
those that are visually impaired, the icon set should have different shapes
associated with them as well. I'd have to go look but I think Steve
Aiello's set on The Shire are this way.

I'm sorry...from a distance?
It's a computer screen, not a TV.
You can make your own custom smilies anyways. Just overwrite the images.

I'll ask her to play around with creating another set of icons, although
Steve's should be acceptable to the PHB types.
I do have to say that no one here has grumbled at me about the name or
the iconss.
I received some remarks from some of my collegaes. 4 of them have color
blindness and it's very dificult to see the differences between the smileys
from a distance.
