Hi Jon,

Just playing with the new render palette.  It’s a big improvement.

However, I noted that turning off Footprints turns off through-hole pads.  
Since we have a separate option for that, it’s counter-intuitive to have 
Footprints also control it.  (And, when one wants to see the copper and nothing 
else, you want pads without footprints.)

Also, it’s easy to think Front Pads or Back Pads should show them.  I 
understand the distinction, but shouldn’t we name them Front SMD Pads and Back 
SMD Pads to make it clearer?

Cheers,
Jeff.
