Full acronyms as text next to the icon is good, but again, I think you're putting too much weight on what is surely a very minor part of the page. With tooltips I wouldn't expect anyone to confuse the MIT license with the M+ license which we don't support and I have never heard of :) On 31 Jul

Nothing else on the site uses colors to distinguish things. It would make these elements stand out dramatically. I don't see why tooltips or a mouseover div wouldn't solve this issue without bulking up the icon. -J On Jul 31, 2009, at 5:30 AM, Dave Crossland wrote: So do we have

:hover gives a lot more visual control than tooltips, which invariably come in golf pants yellow. Given that we can use @font-face pretty freely, given the audience for the site, this seems like an opportunity. -J On Jul 31, 2009, at 12:02 PM, James Weiner wrote: I agree with Joshua on
