[hobbit] "Hobbit" name legal stuff; slight name change will happen

[Rafal Roginela]

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..

 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.

      ......Bruce

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.
