Issues with boolean indicator color and text

[MinerHokieRamp]

I have some boolean indicators that are displaying unexpected combinations of boolean color and boolean text.

The states of the indicators are set up as folows:

True: Color = Green, Boolean Text = OK

False: Color =  Red, Boolean Text = FAILED

I've seen the indicators in a third state: the color is Red with boolean text = OK.

One note that might be a clue. When the indicators are Green/OK, the size of the indicator is slightly larger and the text is a different color than the Red/OK case.

I've probably got an error in the indicator properties setup. Any ideas of what I'm doing incorrectly that would result in a third state are appreciated.

If you had attached your boolean as a Snippet (or made it a Control and attached it as a Control), we could have actually looked at it and advised you based on what we saw.

If you right-click the control and choose Properties, you can see some of the color properties.  There are 4 colors, only two of which show up here:  False, True, False to True, and True to False.  The other two can be read and set by Property Nodes.

What kind of boolean indicator are you using (LED? Silver? Modern? Classic?). Are you using this indicator as a control? When use as a control you may have different combinations when the mechanical action is set to Switch When Release or Latch When Release (true to false and false to true transition states).

Have a look at the Property:Colors[4] description in the context help window.
