 Hi.
 A few minutes ago, I fetched the latest PCB sources from git and
 recompiled. Surprise: The resulting binary includes translucent tracks and
 polygons! This is both, beautiful and very useful. See the attached
 screenshot. Some of these days, Peter Clifton must have been silently
 pushing his patches to the main tree.

Agreed - thanks a bunch for pushing those changes through, Peter!

 Note, this is real transparency like it should be. Not like the composite
 colors that eagle, kicad and protel99 use to make hidden objects visible.
 IMHO, the more physical model of GL transparency adds to the usability.

These are TDA2030 that drive the peltier -- These  are reliable, powerful 
and and cheap. To tap their power, they need to be screwed to a sizable cooler. 
15 W heat cannot be easily dissipated into a copper polygon plane.
