Instead of horizontal bands, this patch draws vertical bands. When many players share a halt, horizontal lines make the text hard to read.

So if one was careful before, one could make a few country flags out of this. Now, one can make *different* country flags from this :)
I think this goes also better with the text. OR maybe we shoudl made it configurable.
So now you have the choice, horzizontal or vertical in r12050
In display settings the checkbox does not change state when clicked (otherwise it works fine).
Also, regarding the little permission rectangles above station names, I think I like the previous display more; with the new way there is no gap between the different rectangles and it scales weirdly when zooming/dezooming.
The width was indeed only working for one size and looked wrong with different font sizes, true. r12051 should address this.
The gap felt wrong to me. Also, I found it easier in my testgames when there was a constant width for all halt with a share. Otherwise, shares between just two players (especially with darker colors) were harder to find compared to larger multishares. Maybe it is a matter of taste, I fear.
What other game would give you an option for such a thing? lol. Awesome. :)
