I don't think the "huge white square" is the right place to put information about the current record in form view because it is the same white square displayed in the list view. So it is bad to have different meaning for the same widget. Yes, it could be good for completness to be able to diplay icons in form. And icon is just a selection field, so why not having a widget icon for such fields. For me, the color should be removed because it can not be managed correctly with the theme of the client. You can have wrong combination that makes text unreadable. Indeed I think colored icons could be a good replacement and if there is a widget for the form view, than we have a global solution. -- Cédric Krier B2CK SPRL Rue de Rotterdam, 4 4000 Liège Belgium Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Email/Jabber: [email protected] Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
