So Karl, did you have a script scheduled to execute at 2:30 Eastern time to flip from 3 to 2 as soon as Obama was done talking?

Don't think you actually needed to hear his speech to know it would necessitate a TickerCon change.

I did hear his speech, and read it as he was delivering it.

Maybe make the current level number white or gray, as opposed to black for the un-"lit" ones?

It's supposed to look like a physical sign with a lamp providing illumination in the rear. It pretty much does.

I would make it brighter. It's a bit dim and I have the brightness and contrast turned up on my monitor. Maybe a lightbulb effect behind it?

Let me see what I can do with the "on" ones...

It would look like a light behind it if the number lit up on the "on" ones. Especially if you did a bright spot in the middle and let it fade toward the edges.

It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.

What I'm thinking about doing is putting some sort of "lit" border on the numbers themselves when they're "on".

The lighting effects don't work well for "behind" (e.g. 3d projection); 2-d works fine, but looks like ****.

Can we have a vote to move it back to 3? 2 is too scary and I don't want to panic the consumers. Perhaps someone should start a TickerCon lobby group. smiley /SARCASM
