[Pathfinder]Is there a way to signify a critical threat?

I am currently working on making macro's for a new character and I wondered is there a way to signify critical threats? I know we have "cs" but that just colors the roll as if you rolled a natural 20. Meaning you have to mouse over to see if it is a natural 20 or just a threat. You could add extra text to the macro but that would just add unnecessary extra clutter. 
If you use the Pathfinder Sheet, both the  Attack and  Spell roll templates have options for critical threats, but only for attack rolls.
They use the cs (critical success) attribute. Making it green when you roll above it. But you will loose the identification of a natural 20 roll. Unless you mouse over

You could try doing this: 1d20cs>18cf>20 Will color a nat 20 blue. You would have to add this manually to all attack macro text.
That would sadly enough cause the same issue as with a nat 20. Now you will be missing the marking of a nat 1 instead. Kinda surprised there isn't an easy implementation for threat ranges.

That is easily fixed by adding another cf argument on: 1d20cs>18cf>20cf<1

If you do this, the "sucessess" are the # of times a 20 is rolled (in this case 0 or 1), and green if a crit is rolled the &gt; without text before it signifies the # to use as a "success", which is different than "cs&gt;" for critical success /roll 1d20&gt;20cs&gt;19 output is ugly though, and im not sure it works inside a rolltemplate, you'll have to test it .(and of course if you are already using &gt; for the AC then this won't help). why do you need to know the difference between a 20 and a critical threat?, just wondering <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference</a>
20 is an automatic hit. A critical threat isn't so having a difference between the two is on a system level rather handy/needed. But with some of the examples here I can get something that will work for me. Thank you all for replying.
