Colour Blind!

[Nudge]

We have a pilot that made a request last night .... is it possible to have a shape, line, cross etc in the coloured button/lights that show aircraft in use and or pilots status. The pilot concerned is colour blind and the buttons appear all as greyish. A different shape in each coloured button/light would help for quicker recognition!
Cheers!

Sounds reasonable. Maybe a green circle should mean a flight/aircraft is available, a red X should denote a booked flight/aircraft or an aircraft in maintenence, and a yellow triangle should show a flight in progress.

I'll take care of that...

Correct me if i am wrong but if you hover your mouse over the circle it will tell you if that plane is available......

Quite correct, but with the benefit of full colour vision most of us can see at a glance aircraft which are booked etc. It would be a pain in the butt to have to mouse over every aircrafts status button to check it's status. I'm sure DK will come up with something, A simple X across each button that isn't green will be a good visual clue to see which aircraft aren't available for booking.

I added some symbols to the dots. Please let me know if your color blind fellow can recognize it or if I have to make the symbols a bit brighter...

I am not colour bilnd but i actually find alot better to look at now....

I'm somewhat red-green color deficient. The white does make it more distinguishable, However a brighter white would be even better.
