I know that sounds sort of silly, but here is the situation:
I use this tool to monitor, among other things, the status of a number of printers. If one of the printers goes down, the systray icon turns red. This is great.
But once I see that the printer is down, I'd like to acknowledge that fact and then have the systray color turn to something else (yellow, perhaps).
Otherwise, I will simply ignore the red icon in the systray thinking that only the printer is down. but if something else goes down, I won't know because it's already red. But if that test failure were "acknowledged" and the icon turned yellow, any additional test failures would turn it back to red and grab my attention. Or if it comes back up, it will turn back to blue.
And I don't want to disable the original (failed test) because then I won't know when the printer comes back on line...
Does that makes sense? Is that clear?
Thanks for a great product!

New color in Systray
Well, HostMonitor works exactly this way. Except it uses "purple on blue" icon for "bad acknowledged" test items. Yellow icon used for Unknown test items (if "Treat Unknown as Bad" test option is disabled)But once I see that the printer is down, I'd like to acknowledge that fact and then have the systray color turn to something else (yellow, perhaps).
