13 years ago I put the sign closer, but it's still monstrous on the X axis compared to the slug. Because the alert itself has no newlines in it, so the last line in the box can be hundreds of characters. Need a way to break it out in to multiple lines. I'll see if TextNodes can have line wrap. Didn't touch color.
At DefCon, most people assumed that the bigger slugs were somehow more important, when in fact it just means they've been clicked on (their sign is visible). Partly this is because the sign appears quite a ways in "front" of and above them, rather than directly on top of them. Another Scale issue. If the sign was attached, I don't think we need to change the size of the slug - at least not for that.
Also should think about better ways to use color. Currently there's a base color which is changed per security zone, then shaded according to the OS which nmap discovered (if any). Higher priority slugs are red, and tunnels are either yellow for unencrypted for black for encrypted. I don't want to use so many colors that it looks like a grateful dead concert, though. Should cubes have some visible indication if any one of their events is high priority (red slug)?
