The current destination displays that are coloured only have the number part coloured too, so the destination display wouldn't be able to be 'coloured' white.
I'd imagine the cost of a full colour LED would be extortionate.

(25 May 2014, 7:10 pm)BJ10VUS Just a thought... with the introduction of the white display on the spare Versa, what if a new layout was introduced featuring route branding colours? Obviously my design won't work with all colours as effectively.

(25 May 2014, 7:17 pm)citaro5284 To have a full colour display rather than just the route number in colour is a lot more expensive. I understand that GNE will not be buying any colour route number blinds in the future anyway, they will either be amber or white (after the Versa trial), with a full destination on the rear rather than just a route number.

(25 May 2014, 7:20 pm)BJ10VUS Thanks for clearing that up! Can I ask, what's with the Arial route numbers on the 56 and 58? Are these trials as well?

(25 May 2014, 7:26 pm)citaro5284 Sort of yes, just looking to see if using other fonts than the 'norm' look much different, sometimes we feel they look a bit too robotic. Cannot see all route numbers changing to Arial, but it is work in progress.

(25 May 2014, 8:17 pm)Tom I've made some different designs of LED Displays, and I'm going to try some Colour RN/Full Colour blinds later and I'm wondering what is you favourite out of the options below:
(25 May 2014, 8:24 pm)BJ10VUS I quite like the first one, although it might take a while to go through everything on the 19!
(25 May 2014, 8:27 pm)Tom I like the design of the first one too!
That one was for the terminus of the 19 though - if it was scrolling it would just have Royal Quays, Cobalt etc.

(25 May 2014, 8:23 pm)aureolin What's the opinion on the trial so far? I personally prefer the white blinds, as they stand out more in the distance.

(25 May 2014, 8:29 pm)BJ10VUS Ah, makes sense... should have looked closer and I would have realised!
How did you make the third one? Is it on a 144x19 display, or 144x17?

(25 May 2014, 8:50 pm)BJ10VUS Mine only displays these fonts when in 144x19 mode... if I want to do the usual-looking scrolling font on the bottom row, I have to put the top row in to 10 pixels height rather than 9.

(25 May 2014, 9:04 pm)citaro5284 So do not fix anything and then super x should give you normal super x font which is what is on option 3 top row.
