You're asking for the system to self acknowledge, I don't think that's available.
I also question the logic. The reverse title on the map indicates something happened, and it was NOT acknowledged when it went down. Or, you could get an SNMP trap from the device and it will reverse the name.
If I have a device flapping, it goes up and down a lot, and I don't have my eyes glued to the screen, I'll miss the device showing down for that period of time, but when I look at the map I'll know SOMETHING happened at some point, and that even though it's up now, I should take a look at the device to see what's been going on. Let's say I have compiled the mib for a device with redundant power supplies and it traps saying one of them is down. Nice to have the reversed icon to say come look at me.
One of the things I've done is created an asp page that acknowledges all devices on all maps, and have placed a link to that in the mainpage prefix. That function gets a one touch clearing of all highlighted icons, but it's from the WEB page, which from the description of your IT setup, might not apply.

Hi people, I posted a couple of days ago about the highlighted icons when an event occurs. Someone explained that to me. Thanks!But, how do I get rid of the highlighting? I have my WUG server packed away with a 25' monitor cord going to a small 15" monitor that sits at the entrance to our IT department, so that when we come in that's the first thing we see and check how the servers are doing. But I don't want to have to access the server all the time to "de-highlight" the icons that are highlighted. I want WUG to say "Ok, I'll highlight this server because it caused an event so everyone knows, but in 1 minute I'll refresh that icon and put it back to normal". Any ideas? Thanks!
