Roman Numeral Status Icons

If you put roman numerals in the status icons I can indicate the number of enemies represented by one token. And other stuff.
Doesn't the numeral indicator you can add to the existing icons do this. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Token_Features" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Token_Features</a> You can also add a numeral to individual Overlays by mousing over the desired Overlay in the rollout menu and tapping "0" through to "9" on the keyboard or numpad. A red numeral will appear on the Overlay. Tapping "0" will clear the numeral from the Overlay (but the Overlay remains until it is clicked again in the menu). For example just use the yellow dot with a number from 1-9 in it.

Yes, but if we're trying to design with flexibility in mind, its much easier to use roman numerals to convey numbers, levels, key them to events in modules, key them to story narrative. They are also easier to see then those tiny red overlays. honestly? No one can tell what those symbols are until you zoom in especially when screen sharing etc. This is more an added feature i'm looking for, rather then a replacement. I know we're nerds and all but the cool factor of roman numerals should be considered too, as well as the visibility issues of little icons (and I read they are based on 4e? is that true?) Here's an image at 150% tabletop zoom to help imagine it. it would just add a lot of ways to convey stuff visually. addendum. :The best solution long term is to let us design our own icons. 5 bucks says thats in the dev cycle.
