All of the circuit signals are preconfigured to specific icons so if you are viewing logic you may not kniw what each of them are.

We have the ability to use game icons and then names on trains, can we do the same for signals? No signals by default, then click add new and if you want you can give it an icon, and icon and name, or just name?

You can easily mod that but it needs a restart to add / change a signal name so it's far from ideal. Also what icon will you choose? Whatever icon you pick will already be in use by it's original signal.

Unless the mod lets you choose e.g. 4 icons and creates a new icon with them in a 2x2 grid...

This is what the virtual signals are for.

And it would take an engine change to do this, since virtual signal names are set at mod load.
