[hobbit] "Hobbit" name legal stuff; slight name change will h appen
Here is my $.02.
I like the road sign idea. Stop for red, triangle for yellow, circle for green, square for purple, inverted triangle for blue, and rectangle for white. Not sure what to do for status which have changed in the last 24 hours, but please don't drop that feature, I use it all the time, to check what happened which did NOT generate an alert.
I like the hobbeat, or heartbeat name or something like that. I installed hobbit last April in my shop and in the past year+ it has become the way to check the heartbeat of the computer network.
Above all Hendrik, please let someone else take on the icon thing (I'm not an artist) and be sure to get your health (especially those floaters) addressed. You and your health are far more important than what we all see on screens everyday.

If so the check is already used by the acknowledgment icon.
I'd forgotten that - doh! A + is probably the simplest other choice then (or maybe a small OK).
Thinking about it though, as this is about catering for the colour blind, it's probably worth also considering how to show acknowledged status codes. Maybe by fading the basic symbol (octagon or triangle) and overlaying a tick? That would still allow a plain tick as a "green" code.

Hi,
This is a great idea... the symbols are different enough that no one can confuse them even at a glance nor if they can't see the colors. I mocked something up real quick and dirty and I still think that the icons for old status (>24hrs) should be animated and I have included my rough shot attempts at this... I switched around blue and white shapes but the idea would be the same just different colors. I attached the chart and also the animated gifs as best as I could do them just for demo purposes... I hope this puts an icon to the idea and is helpful. I am sure these could be polished up very much by a real artist but these are hand drawn so no licensing required..

Can someone with a large display verify these shapes are different enough for those who have eyesight problems?
I don't believe that the images are different enough to be noticed from a good distance away, though I most certainly can be mistaken.
