Inappropriate?I'll reply to my own post and let you know how we use it at my company right now...
We have 3 dedicated monitors that are always on. We have 3 of the 4 corners of the room showing the visualizations on dedicated monitors. This allows for anyone to look up from their monitor and see what the current status of each build is.
In addition to BVC, we also have CCTray running to give us auditory alerts to the build status.
Having the monitors displayed prominently around the room allows for everyone to know the status of the build as soon as they walk in the room and for others to know the status of the build as they visit our team room.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Just started to use it here, it's great for getting a good overall state of the builds. A question, where and how would you like to receive patches?
On the google code group, via new issue? or another way
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Another cool item would be the ability to choose which projects to visualize.
I’m confident

Funny, I had this in there and removed it (didn't think anyone was using it). I think this would also provide a workaround for your request of showing the builds better when there are a bunch of builds to see). You could run two instances and filter each one differently. There's a good chance I'll put the filter back in. -
Inappropriate?that would be cool, standard the filter may be empty, but the ability to filter should be there

Inappropriate?Hey there.
We've been using BVC for quite a while. Since we have 16 different projects, we display them on 2 monitors.
There seems to be a problem when running 2 instances of BVC for a long time. After a while, the CPU goes up to 100%.
I tried to download the latest version, but this one doesn't allow me to filter projects anymore. Could you put it back in?
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?We have a laptop (almost) dedicated to running BVC - the laptop sits on top of a cupboard in the dev room. The dev managers love it - more than us I think...Which is probably why we have several requests to show a photo of the person who broke the build flashing up beside the project name. A bit 'blamey' but probably just good fun.

There is currently a patch in the issue list that was submitted that shows the name of the individual that broke the build. You could certainly modify that to put up an image :)
I haven't added the patch b/c I was waiting on the latest CCNet to be released. It's released - just haven't had the opportunity yet.
