Same for us.  We have 2 large monitors, each monitor has +/- 10 
hobbit/bb2.html pages in frames (each frame has a transparant png with the 
name of the customer over it).  By looking at the colors and the icons, we 
can spot errors and warnings.
My desk is 8m away from the monitors.  I have the same screens bookmarked on 
my laptop.  When there is an error, can see it on the screens and I use my 
laptop to check it out.

I was thinking about using the 24u icons as "primary" icons because they have 
different shapes.  I also was thinking about creating a background that not 
only differs in color, but also in shape.
