"I was wondering if it would be possible to have a variant of display plates that have a lighter-coloured central background? This would be useful when trying to improve visibility for dark-themed items (like oil and coal for example)."

(Moved from other fork, originally posted by azaghal)

I tried adding another hidden sprite render with a light display variant (without border) on top of the plates. I could even make it dis-/appear on a gui switch, but the logic of a display plate assumes that there is only one render attached to the entity, namely the icon.

Adding more renders breaks everything, so this suggestion needs a wide rewrite of the logic.

Or you just add light variant item and entity copies, but that's lame :P
