Some tweaks

I have a few simple ideas for improvement...

  1. Command Monitor should probably be sorted by execution, not by name. It gets confusing when doing a lot of things.
  2. Command Monitor makes it too easy to re-run commands. When I first started, I clicked that instead of the drop down. It took me a while to realize they weren't the same.
  3. Yellow! Make yellow icons for "working". I can't tell whether they failed or are still running.
  4. There's not really any way to dig into why something failed. This is a pain in the bum.
  5. I can't find where to customize macros. I particularly need to remove the highstate macro because that running on * will bring the load average on my master up to 20 for 2hr. The macros are useless to me if I can't customize them.
  6. There are no tips for the little icons
  7. The Monitors are useless until a command is run, so the Command pane should probable just be open by default. It would make sense if the command monitor were open by default too.
  8. It seems all results are stored in ram for the user. This is a problem when running state.highstate on 550 minions with 50-800 states per minion.

3 and 4 combined make a relatively large headache

Overall, I LOVE halite, just got started with it today. It won't replace the cli for me, but other people that will be given access to do things will be using it.
