Relying on mouse-overs to convey information means it's no longer at-a-glance.  
Kind of kills the point of a lot of views, if you ask me.

On a monitoring system we run in parallel to Zenoss the statuses are indicated 
by a red X (critical), open yellow circle (warn), green check (okay), purple 
question mark (unknown), clear sphere (skipped) or purple sphere 
(acknowledged).   Doesn't seem like it would be that hard to come up a similar 
scheme for your categories.

Unfortunately the use of color-only status indicators seems fairly pervasive in 
the interface, but at minimum replacing the color-dot.png (or offering an 
alternative set) and adding the mouse-over text would make it at least 
semi-usable for some of us.
