Hi thanks for your answer. But I think I'm going to drop the idea completely. The change of color was the only thing I wanted to achieve with this solution. A list of faulty components I can get in nagios quiet simple. Will there be another way to change the color in new versions or will this feature also be dropped? A little tag would be very cool. So I could use your nice solution in one of the next releases.
