I'd suggest having a yellow outline when the node has been started but the gateway isn't running yet, then change that to a green outline (or no outline) when the gateway is up. > c) When a successful HTTP conversation with port 8888 is completed, the > icon will change to the standard red rabbit.

Red, to me (and to many other people, especially the Germans), means "stop, error, bad". A working Freenet should probably have a rabbit whose color matches that of the gateway page, or at least is not red. > 2.

Again, I'd choose yellow for "waiting, no errors found yet but it's not ready yet". Save red for "something's actually broken" (for instance, if the gateway used to be there but isn't any longer). -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody." greg at wooledge.org | - The Red Hot Chili Peppers http://wooledge.org/~greg/ | -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
