Too many other things in the tray use red to warn when something is wrong, so it will be distracting, and could even confuse new people into thinking something went wrong with CIS. Could the icon be changed to blue or green, or even better, back to the white with a green checkmark (or a green ‘C’ if you prefer)?
P.S., I love this product. It replaced Kerio 2.15 on my systems. The only other gripe I have is how many things I have to click to get to the Network Security Policy, which itself could be named something more friendly, like “Firewall Rules List” perhaps. Could a link to the Network Security Policy be put on the context menu for the tray icon?
What I don’t like is that the green and yellow traffic arrows look horrible on the red. I never installed version 4 so I don’t know what the tray icon looked like with it, but I thought the icon with version 3 looked great.
I didn’t like the new Icon to start with but it did grow on me, and at least IMO the red stands out to show you it has loaded. I do agree with you for different colors for status though or maybe the shield turn to a red cross. Kind regards.
Couldn’t have gone with a more decent tone of red, though, could you?
I’m not sure about all you people having bad screens out there but this tone of red isn’t exactly pleasant on the long run and should be reserved for things that are actually wrong…
The v4 icon was the best so far . It actually looked like a strong shield and gave a better sense of security than one that looks more like a warning message.
