The utility was configured very late in the process, so it may not be fully documented, but I do recall writing up a description of it... Could have sworn it was for the Help. Disconnecting the Spyder will cause a slash, as will launching the Elite or Pro application (which shuts down the Utility temporarily). The other slash color is caused by your display being beyond the selected recalibration date, or the ambient light being out of the target range. C. D. Tobie WW Product Technology Mngr.

Thanks It also points out the value of leaving the Spyder3 connected to measure ambient light. Correct? I usually just put everything back in the box until the next calibration. jtm

That was the typical process with Spyder2, and other calibrators of that era. We found that the when the "recalibrate" warning came up, people put it off, since it required finding the Spyder in the drawer or closet, getting it out, untangling the cable, crawling around in the dust to plug it in, and then it was a ten minute process to recalibrate. With Spyder3, its already there, hooked up, and available, and recalibration is only about three or four minutes. So its far more likely to get done. And yes, its nice to get the ambient light level info that the tray/menu-bar icon offers, especially for educational purposes, but thats only part of the value.
