Looks like you did a good job to me. The only problems i really see with it are the shades of red and green. Those bright colors can be kinda hard on the eyes.
You also need to hide or lock the HMI configuration buttons, if you leave them out where operators can press them you will get pretty regular calls about the screen being in configuration mode. This will also bring up another issue with document control on your programs. If you don't delete the old versions off and they can get to the configuration mode screens, they will inevitably end up loading the wrong program.
Most of our screens have logins for at least our department so we can hide configuration options and the close HMI button, but if you don't need security you can very easily make the configuration mode button invisible and hide it behind something that the operators wouldn't normally hit. I usually hide it in the header on one of the screens away from anything the operator would normally press if the project doesn't need security.
I don't mind sharing some of the HMI screens I built or either directly worked with vendors to build. Some of those are below. These screens were built using FactoryTalk ViewME and the screen sizes range from 7" to 15".
I wish more people would share their HMI screens as well. I think its good for us to see what other people are doing.
