Bexil, you've put your finger right on it there.
Over the 6+ years that the NERC system has been in test at Swanwick, we've gone through probably four iterations of fonts and colours. In each case, the changes have been at the behest of some one loudly proclaiming, "I represent the controllers. Let me tell you what we really want."
Reading this thread, I'm moved to ask, where were you guys? Except I know the answer -- working your real job. But please realise it wasn't from lack of interest by the implementers that we ended with what we have.
I'll be fascinated to see how well you get on with your proposed changes, given the current political/financial circumstances.
And congrats and thanks to you all who are working hard to make NERC, so far, look pretty good.
