[2.0.34] New virtual signals sometimes hard to read
Posted: Sun Feb 09, 2025 1:15 am
The new virtual signals are nice but their light colour and lack of background makes them almost impossible to read in certain contexts.
Adding a semi-transparent dark background greatly improves visibility without appreciably changing how they look on display panels or in the icon picker.
In this picture the station has the name [virtual-signal=signal-speed][virtual-signal=signal-clock].
[virtual-signal=signal-speed] is unmodified but [virtual-signal=signal-clock] has been modded to add a #1f1f1f7f background
Here is another image showing circuit wire conditions on a power pole and showing that the semi-transparent background does not significantly impede reading the signal colour.
