Better Differentiation Between How Controls and Indicators Appear on the Block Diagram

Because of my poor eyesight I sometimes have a hard time differentiating between Controls and Indicators on the block diagram.  I also have a hard time reading the letters DBL because they are in orange.  I would prefer that they are in black. Currently the only difference is a thin border verses a thick border.  I think a better contrast would help users such as myself.  Here is a sample:

 

 

The same color scheme would need to apply to the symbols when you do not make the icon visible.

I would not go in that direction, and I would still trade the consistent look for the very occasional need to move a few terminals. It is not like there are that many terminals around anyway.
