WISH: Highlight the other end of selected wire

Just a suggestion. When a battery is selected, its wire connected neighboring batteries are difficult to identify sometimes because of wire overlay (For example the pic below). I suggest to put on some backlights or shadows for the battery on the other end of the wire (or glow the tip of the wire end), so It is easier to see which battery is connected to the currently selected battery.

This already exists in GH1
Press Ctrl+left/right
or Shift+Ctrl+left/right

To highlight connected batteries upstream or downstream from your selected component

It’s also possible to modify the colour of the unselected end of a selected wire. You’ll have to do it manually by editing the settings Xml file while Rhino isn’t running though.

File \rightarrow Special Folders \rightarrow Settings Folder

Open grasshopper_gui.xml in a text editor.

Edit the wire_selected_b value, it is expressed as an ARGB value. The default is 50;0;0;0 which means fairly transparent black.
