Gauge backdrops

[pärtan]

This is just a small improvement suggestion that I came up with a year ago or something and that I just remembered now. See, the thing is that I would like a white backdrop for my gauges with black text. Like in for instance an S15. The idea is to add a new color slider, just like for the rest of the interface and for all the other things on the gauges but for the background so you can put a white background with black digits in your gauges. I belive this would take a couple of minutes to do, correct me if I'm wrong :P

It's sometimes hard to see when the gauge is the same colour of the car tbh, I've wished for a translucent backdrop for gauges, but for now, we got the Virtual Gauges OutGauge application.

Mmh, I was talking about the gauges visible in the 3d dashboard of the car rather then the HUD style ones. But of course backdrops for those should be added in too. :)
On a not entirely unrelated topic, another thing that might bother me once the engine temp is working. I would like the engine temprature gauge to be in the dashboard rather then sitting in the fan hole. Maybe moving the boost gauge to the a-pillar? Maybe add vacuum to the boost guage? I'm drifting off abit now. An image to show what I mean.

Engine temp is not implemented in lfs yet
Also the oil presure gauge it's move when you press the gass, but the measure is not implemente yet on lfs

That's not a "fan hole" as you call it. That's an actual gauge position for the car that dashboard is modeled after. Mitsubishi GTO/3000GT, fyi.

I think the option to change gauges would be a nice one to have, change he grey color to a brighter white would be all I'd need, but customization is almost never a bad thing.

Oh, I see. My bad.
