Thanks for the graphics.

 

Funny, on the text-only poll I voted for record/stop, as this is intuitively correct.

[One can get in trouble for playing packets back into a live network. :-) ]

But it seems that the record button (small red dot on a large button) doesn't

transfer well to the screen, looking instead like an indicator light.

 

Also, the fourth example has no shape distinction at all, so people with red/green

color blindness would need to rely on tooltips / button placement.

See the pretty pictures? <grin>

 

I can send this to about 25,000 folks on our mailing lists and hit Twitter/Facebook.

 

Will provide feedback to the –dev list.
