That's exactly something I have also observed, in particular with self-illuminating instruments - something like a basic LCD or TFT shouldn't be subject to general panel darkening, as it has its own illuminiation - I looked into David's (Megginson) sources and it seems one would either need to define areas on the panel/screen that aren't darkened, or -preferably- (in my opinion) provide an additional parameter to layers that are not subject to panel-darkening.
And for your St. Elmo's Fire it would probably be benefitting if you could add some diffuse effects, too - I think that's beyond the capablities of the current XML-instrument code !?
My questions are:
Can the instrument darkening/redening be turned off per-instrument?
currently not - I'm afraid, at least that's the conclusion that I came up with ...
Should we have a seperate screen-drawing subsystem that draws "windscreen effects", like St. Elmo's Fire, rain, snow, glare?
I like the idea
