Colorblind Mode

We have a technician who recently started in our NOC who is red/green colorblind such that the red and green status icons in NPM look exactly the same to him. I would like to be able to implement an alternate set of icons to make the different status indicators easier to distinguish. Options could include any or all of:

  • Making the red darker and the green lighter (though this could create yellow/green issues)
  • Making the red, yellow and green icons dfferent shapes (octagon/triangle/circle)
  • Integrating a visual cue within the icon, such as a minus sign or bar in the yellow icon and an X within the red one.

This could either be made optional or integrated within by replacing the standard icons, as the additional visual cues would likely be helpful to all users.

Thanks for considering.
