I'm not good with graphical stuff and I'm not sure I get what you want here. My idea was: the white/blue bar remains the same for all icons. On top of it are several kinds of icons that represent a state in the process. Of those we would only need about 5 icons that are only slightly modified, e.g. some icon that represents "on hold" would be used with little letters "AM", "FD", and "DAM" on it (= one icon, three times modified). That should make a uniform look. To represent the progress I'd space out the icons on the "progress bar" from left to right in the order of our progress definition. Now, what is it that you would do differently? :) Hauke -- .''`.
