Higher Contrast

    Would it be feasible to add either a view that makes the electronic elements easier to tell apart by looking at them?
    Because I'm a bit color blind (not completely) and it's difficult to tell them apart so I have to spend alot of time trying to find stuff by holding my mouse over it in zoom.

    Here is a good example, I can't fully understand how this component works because I can't tell what is what without holding my mouse over it. It's a real pain in the ass.

    Yes, it is very difficult - but there's little choice - with over a hundred elements in the game, it's going to be impossible to make every single element contrast with each other. the best option would be to use decoration to colour the wire while you're making it. I'm going to move this into the Feedback section, because the solution may well be some kind of high-contrast colour mode rather than a modification of element colours.

    He's saying that for whole computers, RAMs and what-not that might take ages. But yes, this is a bit impossible.
