Would it be possible/practical/desirable to have the Remote Summary
report affect the background color of the main & non-green pages??  My
remote summary is generally red, and occasionally the main server goes
green, so I get a big green-bordered page with "All Monitored Systems
OK" and a little red dot underneath it...

Thanks!
