Jakob, Doug: Thanks for your thoughts about icons. We are currently considering how to handle the colorings to so that people can see the state of the network "at a glance" while providing a more visually pleasing map of the network.
Here are some possibilities: - As Jakob suggested, each icon could have multiple images, one for each of its states. - Doug suggested that we could change the legend/label of the item, based on its state. - We've been thinking of various ways of displaying (color) icons with some kind of border or background behind the icon to show its state. - We're also thinking about some way of showing all the icons' colors when in a normal (OK) state (when they would be green in today's InterMapper) but using a grayscale version of the icon as a mask for red, orange, and yellow backgrounds. What other methods might we use to make it obvious the state of colored icons? Many thanks!
