    I saw on John1701-A's site that he changed the color of the odometer from green to white. How do you do that?
    Thanks

    Photoshop? ;)

    Just kidding - it may also be possible to adjust the color of the VFD display from green to another color by putting a piece of colored lighting gel on top of the lower display window. I was meaning to try it, but never quite got around to it.

    I was thinking of making my display red :)

    The "bright" version is for printouts; otherwise, details would disappear among the black.

    With my old digital camera, overexposing was the only way to get a decent sample of the speedo/odometer. Now with the new digital camera, I can match what you actually see... which is far too dark for viewing a small version of on paper.

    So I artifically brightened it using PhotoPaint.
