Yeah, I was wondering about that. Most nodes that show up still have a
full circle (because they haven't entered their spread or direction, or
because they have at least one omnidirectional antenna), so we probably
don't want to change the colour for everything, but I was thinking perhaps
they should have an intensity inversely proportional to the antenna spread
(partly to represent a similar amount of signal more focussed, but mostly
just to make sure that directional antennas are still as visually apparent
as omnidirectional antennas), but then you start wondering whether you
should really be using the recorded gain instead...

David?
