While it might not fix your color blindness (assuming you are red-green colorblind, like I am :), I've removed the animation and the smilies from the gifs on our hobbit server (which also made them more 'businesslike', so our higher-ups would treat us more seriously ;)

You can gnab them here:

While we're on the subject of artistic talent, it would be nice to have
an alternative to the recent-gif smileys. The smileys are cute, but it
would be very difficult for someone who is color-blind (about 7% of men)
to distinguish between them. 
Thanks,

Fantastic. Hope all goes well.

I've been running Hobbit for a few months on my backup system, so I knew it was working OK. But this past Tuesday I put Hobbit on our production system. The reactions so far have been very positive.

First -- would someone with an artistic bent please do a logo for

Me too. Some sort of logo would be nice, but I'm not capable of doing that myself.
Second -- I've just read the mini-faq on where the name came from.
