How about a red bounding box as a convention for non-writeable controllers?
(or orange, or yellow)
Anyone else think that if you have someone displaying a display which is filled with special indicators that you can see but not touch implies that someone should design a specialized display to address just that need? I.e., if everyone want a SINGLE display that the powers use to read/write to ioc(s) that the read-only people . . . any maybe not even read-only on some ca variables - your going to end up with displays that are going to resemble 'angry fruit salad' and will not allow a user to do much of anything anyway, besides confuse the heck out of them.
Wouldn't an obvious solution/rejoinder be that when these screens are created, you basically build some for the power (read/write) users; different ones for the infidels, uh, rest of the world, and come up with some compromise for the group that has limited access and so falls somewhere between?
