Had a quick look. Sorry to say, I don't like the current setup much. It's clear what you were after - AFTER reading your description... but I don't think it works. Have you considered the "4-colour playfield" system I posted so long ago? Basically this alternates playfield pattern and colour to achieve an effective 3-colours + BG. You could use this effectively to get the display you want.... at the expense of 30Hz flicker, but you'd get solid squares. Another technique... you could become the FIRST to do an interlaced game, and use the alternate playfields to do your different colouring... now that would be neat!
