Quoted from apessino:Distracting? I never even noticed it is there... with it being a faint glow in the lower right corner, outside of the playfield and against the literal HUNDREDS of much brighter lights flashing all over the place, and all.
But I understand... I mean, one cannot be too careful against such a "damn thing shining in your face!" You might catch Permanent Distraction Syndrome - solutions are complex... perhaps put a beer coaster or your phone on top of it? Good luck with your struggle!
Believe it or not there are people who are neuroatypical where things like this are a much bigger deal for them than others. Those of us with asperger's or ADD/anxiety disorders often find things like this impossible to ignore. Once you notice it it's like a beacon that draws all of your attention to it.
When I was a kid if there was someone in class tapping their pencil or something like that it would be literally impossible for me to focus on the lesson. it's called sensory overload and not all that uncommon.
I agree it's an easy fix with something over it, but it really should just be coded to turn off during play since it's not being used any longer.
