The new Gauge Panel is great. I wonder if it may be a good opportunity to allow something I want in most of my gauges: An ideal value. Usually I want my value to be around a certain value, not above, not below. Current coloring doesn’t support that. ---

Would setting two thresholds solve that? One on the upper limit and the second on the lower limit? ---
