Low priority but it would be nice to have the Nrst button be red or some other color to make it easier to pick out in an emergency or in turbulence. Kind of like my backup electric fuel pump has a red cover on the toggle switch.

Long range it might be nice to be able to change all the button colors similar to changing instrument colors.

Good idea.

In our Glasair, we put the Fuel Pump switch first in the line of toggle switches because that was the switch that we would hit first in an engine failure emergency. (And it's the switch we use most often.) So I wanted it easy to find among all the switches.

I've suggested before that the NRST button should be at the bottom left (or bottom right) of the screen, where it could be easily found in an emergency. But just like Microsoft has to support legacy users, I expect it would too hard to make a "major" change like this on legacy iFly users.

So, if the button position can't be changed, then perhaps the button itself can be changed? If not color, perhaps thicker border? Reverse video?

I think making it red might be a good idea.

Noted for future consideration. We are actually gearing up for some UI graphical improvements and polish later this year. If I recall, the original buttons had some color pops, but that started to look very busy and affected the contrast. Thanks for the feedback.

It might be that when iFly gets to version 10, that it could do a "Windows 10" overhaul type of thing if you all wanted. Kind of psychological, along the lines of "Hey, legacy users, we've been at this for a time now and we've learned a lot, and now we're going to break the old mold and change some things in v10, just so you're prepared for changes."
