That was quick, didn't even have time to refill the empty coffee pot,
thank you Hans.
Had to create the file, but that does exactly what I wanted. Is there a
similar way to make the halmeter text larger so that it can be read at a
greater distance? The true/false gets lost in that size of box, and when
trouleshooting a funkity home switch on my b axis, six feet away watching
a mirror watching he monitor, was also difficult to see. There's plenty
of room to double the height of the text.

Well, since macular degeneration is beginning to set in, dark themes
don't have the appeal they had 30 years ago. And they don't have a pill
for that, dammit.
Thank you, Take care and stay well, Hans.
