Train condition progress should look clearer when at 100%

TL;DR

Conditions in train/platform schedules should show as clearly satisfied compared to 99%

What?

Progress of conditions currently looks almost the same between full and 99% full, requiring to look closely to see the missing 1%.
When at 100%, the graphic should look differently, and easy to differentiate from "almost satisfied".

Could change the bar color to green only on 100% condition met, otherwise dunno, orange?

+1. Same on the decider comb & space platforms.

Yeah, I saw a screenshot where someone had a condition for "ammo > 600" but their ammo production was set to stop AT 600. The condition was fully green, of course. So the suggestion of filling the bar with yellow or some other color, then changing it to green only when the condition is satisfied, would be the only way to clearly communicate that situation!

I like the progress bar but a different color for it would be great when it isn't 100%. That 97-99% range can all too easily look like it is 100% when really it isn't.

Would also be nice for the things like cargo "Y" = 0 to have the progress bar too. Just use the value of "Y" at arrival to the station as the max value to determine the progress bar's position....

Maybe you could also write the percentage in white into the bar? E.g. 98% or 100%.

And then get a rounding error? I'd rather prefer a different color option.

Could be addressed by not going over 99% until the condition is truly satisfied. I still like the different color progress bar, though.

I had this issue where I couldn't figure out why my spaceship wasn't moving. Turns out the progress bar was 1 pixel short.

IIRC one issue is that under some conditions — that already mentioned > vs ≥ — it's not even 1 pixel short...
