It didn't. Looks very cool.

I did not know the Info column could have its icon changed. That's neat. In
my installation (and at xymon.org) it's just the standard green.gif.

Yep, makes sense.

You're correct. All of the "*COLUMN" and "*COLUMNGIF" strings are special,
and you can't make up your own (without changing the source code).

The simplest thing might be to tweak the display in the browser with a bit
of Javascript, perhaps inserted into a template or footer file. Something
like:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
        jQuery("img").each(
                function(){
                        var self=jQuery(this);
                        if ((self).attr("title").match(/^who:[a-z]+:/)) {
                                var
newsrc=(self).attr("src").replace("green.gif","info.gif");
                                (self).attr("src",newsrc);
                        };
                }
        );
</script>

This looks for any "<img>" tag with the "title" attribute (pop-up text)
"who:bla:bla" and substitutes green.gif with info.gif.

To insert a bit of HTML or JavaScript into every page, add the text into a
file called xymonbodyfooter.html in the same directory where
xymonserver.cfg, and then set
XYMONBODYFOOTER="file:$XYMONHOME/etc/xymonbodyfooter.html" into
xymonserver.cfg. The location and name of the xymonbodyfooter.html is
arbitrary.

Cheers
Jeremy
