what do you want on the recording screen?

All valid points and I totally agree, be rid of the labels. I certainly don't need them. ;D Note that this does not solve the SMALL DISPLAY 2-Line constraint problem mentioned in my previous post in which I propose the "Joystick_UP toggle FileSize/FileName" solution.

I totally agree that the system font is too small and that it's difficult to see what's going on in the WRS. To alleviate that I have proposed two things: 1) the two line high "Big Status Icon" (maybe even scalable?) and 2) user selectable fonts. But I would like to personally vote against anything that *flashes* unnecessarily.

A flashing red dot or a red light are universally used in anything that involves recording so that anyone immediately know what's going on. I would say this symbol is almost as well known as the "stop" sign on the roads. Why not use something that's this obvious?
Llorean:
Remember, whatever you use should translate to monochrome screens equally well. So the "dot" should be just as obvious in black.

Right, I forgot about monochrome screens. But a flashing black dot would still be pretty obvious to me.
Llorean:
I'm not sure how much more obvious that could be than simply whether time was moving or not.
