Theme Preview Ep. 8: S2000
A wide black screen, one orange arc, one big red number. That's the dash.
The arc
It's the rev counter. It fills from the left as the revs come up — orange, cut into segments by thin dark lines, the way the old clusters looked at night. The stretch at the far end sits in a dull red. Get up there and the whole arc starts flashing red at you.
In the picture above the arc is a little past the 5, and the number reads 173.
The number
Speed, in seven-segment red, sitting right in the middle. Below it, in the same red, a clock, the odometer, and TRIP A. That's the whole bottom of the screen.
The two small dials
On the right: temperature up top, fuel underneath, both drawn with the same orange arc. Small on purpose. They're the things you glance at once a lap, not the things you watch.
First start
The lamps along the bottom sweep once when the theme comes up, then go quiet. Small thing. Still makes me smile every time.
