under your scheme, if the patch is even remotely alive, much of it is going to turn red right after opening what about displaying the init value in black, and the current value in red or green, depending on whether its rising or falling eg _=___=___ | osc~ 440| | 557| | (hz)| -=---------
Screen space is too precious. You need to print each in a different colour channel of the same area. Then you use 3-D glasses in a non-3-D way to read whichever value you want at the moment.
