Tex,
        Now I'm a little confused about this.

        There are a number of icons you folks introduced that do not turn
green when OK - BUT do turn orange and red.

        If the problem is that these are "color" icons and not grayscale,
then WHY do the turn other colors?

        I find these icons frustrating and do wish they would green up.

I am assuming that you are talking about the "4_Server_UPS_*.png"  
images in the Default Icons set in 4.5 and later.

Colored icons have never displayed as green when OK, and most of the  
new Default Icons that were introduced in 4.5 are colored icons.
An icon is considered grayscale (and therefore colored green when OK)  
if every pixel is nearly gray (r == g == b, +/- 5).  Otherwise it is  
displayed in its unadulterated state when OK.

Open up the Icon chooser and use the colored buttons under the  
preview pane on the right side of the window to preview the icon in  
different states.  Traverse the Default Icons using the arrow keys  
and you will notice that the majority of this set of icons are not  
green in the OK state.

If you really want the UPS icon to be green, simply convert it to  
grayscale and either import it as a new icon, or replace InterMapper  
Settings/Custom Icons/Default Icons/4_Server_UPS_*.png
