Display Block slabs

[aRottenKomquat]

The idea is simple: Allow Display Blocks in slab form. So we can have modern thin 1/4-thickness LCD displays everywhere instead of ancient giant late 90's-era CRTs taking up all our interior space.

I can see this working out, I could use them in tight spaces to identify areas. It would make desks with monitors cool as well. However, If you just hide a display block in an indent it out so it looks like a holographic screen(seems more futuristic). Doesn't seem absolutely necessary, but still a cool idea. +1

I've only had issues with this on smaller, more compact designs. I like to label doors to assist with navigation, but sometimes there isn't room for a full display block. A slab would get the job done and still leave enough room for someone to walk by. A good example is narrow 2-block wide hallways where all the attached rooms only have 1-block thick walls. There's no good way to fit a full display block in the walls and have it look good, especially from the back.

They could add a 3d block that does this. It would look way less bulky. About the size of light bar, except it can go above door ways and have a single line of text on it. That would have a fairly sleek look in my opinion.

Yeah, we need to slab all of the things.
