TL;DR

When in Show info mode, it would be nice to see the logistic filter preview when there are still no items in the container.

What ?

Simply see the first 4 items in the Logistic filter section as you currently see items in the container, only with a different background instead of black (I was thinking white), or perhaps greyed out/transparent... (I don't like transparency that much because sometimes it's hard to see).

Note that once the item is in there, the colouring scheme would thus return to normal.

I also think that the same "Logistics" colouring scheme should be used on the Filter inserters to have consistency.

Why ?

Well, simply put you would no longer need to open the container to view the logistic chest filter if under 4 filters and there are still no items... It can get tedious to keep track if whether all your filters were properly set when the containers don't contain anything yet.
