Dear Developers,
I suggest to change the TaurusLed icon from "all Black with stripes over it" if the Device Server is not responding to a "Black circle that is transparent inside with stripes over it".

The reason is that from far, an OFF TaurusLed (Black with no stripes) looks too similar to a non responding one. It would also be in line with the your number fields when it is not reachable (dashes).

Please consider this change. It would be much easier to see "non responsive" LEDs on a cluttered screen. if they appear as "ghosts".

Thanks in advance to consider this small change that I am sure will improve visibility.

I take this opportunity to congratulate all developers of Taurus for their excellent product.

And it is for free as well!!

Best Regards,
Staffan Ohlsson

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Without having looked at the code, I suspect that the change is not as trivial to implement as it might seem, but it is worth a try...
