ColdFusion Administrator Pause Button
It's the little things that count. If you've ever been a ColdFusion Administrator, you probably have noticed what a pain in the ass the little "pause" button is when setting a Scheduled Process on hold.
The problem is the Pause button looks almost identical to the Resume button. When looking at a list of a hundred processes, it is hard to find those that are paused and those that are not.
Here's a tiny little gem to solve that. This is a replacement Resume button made from the original button. Just put this image in your "/CFIDE/administrator/images/" directory as "resume.gif". If you are on Linux you might have to adjust the permissions to match those of the other images.
Two things about it. This isn't a GIF file (pronounced JIF) it's a PNG file. I don't know why they do it, but the images on the CF server are PNG files that have been renamed to GIF by Adobe. I assume it is for backwards compatibility. So you'll have to take this PNG file and rename it to GIF before uploading it.
Which leads to the second thing. If you are worried about security (as you should be) and don't trust that this is just an image file, Go ahead and open it in a browser or an image editor. Just make sure you rename it to ".gif" before uploading it.
Here's the image:
You should be able to just right-click on the image above and do a "Save Image As...".
Here's a sample screenshot of the final product:
