Thanks. Very true, the red is horrible, it was the nearest colour in
my palette :)
I think the Echo light blue with a white outline or blurry trail? I'm
thinking eventually 3-D here... :-D

That's probably the next stage after the animation, designing the
pointer. I can imagine a slightly beveled or 3-D arrow would work with
the balls well, contrasting with the iconset. Maybe. Please see my

animation :)
