I did something like that once (to view 'reserved' space with a
different color, red in this case). It's an ugly hack, and doesn't
give any UI because we do all the tampering in the database.
What I did (as far as I can recall), this is for 0.14.12 so file
locations may have changed:
* Changed some code (index.php, render_image.php,
render_rack_thumb.php atleast) to add another statecode, thus "foreach
(array ('F', 'A', 'U', 'T', 'Th', 'Tw', 'Thw') as $statecode)" became
"foreach (array ('F', 'A', 'U', 'T', 'Th', 'Tw', 'Thw', 'R') as
$statecode)"
Notice the new statecode, 'R' for reserved.
* Added a row to Config-table;
varname: color_R
varvalue: ff0000
vartype: string
emptyok: no
is_hidden: yes
description: Reserved Atoms
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
To actually change color on object, change it's state in RackSpace to
'R' or whatever value you gave your new color.
I might have forgotten something, and it does lack GUI functions (we
populate racktables from our CMDB, not by hand).
