    Hi guys,, is there anyway to make the stealth button more obvious when its on/off ??

    Ideally if pos , one colour for on and another for when its off ??

    I find sometimes it gets nocked on accidently and I dnt notice it straight away,,,, sure if im on a demanding game it be obvious,, but games like footie mgr will play fine just process between game days etc slower.

    I have the colour just now as Yellow on the touch buttons ,, but if I cant have a differnet one just for when its off,, whats the best colour to notice the suttle change in brightness ????

    there is a app someone created that shows an icon down in your system tray and changes colour when it is activated besides that i dont think there is i wish it wasn't there interlay if you do a quick google search for M15X stealth mode indicator i think it should come up on these forums. other than that i dont think there is.

    Also, another way of noticing if the stealth mode is active or not is when stealth mode is activating you will see the rpm looking button on the touch media is slightly brighter. When stealth mode is off, the button dims slightly. I never noticed it before, until it was pointed out by 'the rev'.
